Completed in 1959, this earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet with a hydraulic height of 14 feet and a structural height of 17.5 feet. It has a storage capacity of 1400 acre-feet, with normal storage levels reaching 973 acre-feet. The dam spans 900 feet in length and covers a surface area of 205.4 acres, providing water resources for agricultural activities in the region.

Managed by a private owner, Antelope Dam is regulated by the state with permitting, inspection, and enforcement carried out by the Oregon Water Resources Department.

The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, with a maximum discharge of 400 cubic feet per second, and features needle outlet gates. With a last inspection date in August 2015 and an inspection frequency of six years, the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated.
