Crooked Creek Dam, also known as Crooked Creek Lake, is located in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, and is owned and managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Completed in 1940, the earth dam stands at a structural height of 143 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 132,000 acre-feet. The primary purpose of the dam is flood risk reduction, although it also provides recreational opportunities for visitors.

The dam has a high hazard potential and is regularly inspected to ensure its safety and integrity. USACE implements risk management measures by monitoring the dam's condition, prioritizing activities to mitigate risks, and collaborating with local emergency managers and the public to raise awareness and prepare for potential emergencies. The emergency action plan for the dam is regularly updated, and maintenance and repairs are conducted as needed to keep the dam functioning properly.

In the event of severe weather or high water levels, water may be released through the dam to manage levels and relieve pressure. USACE works diligently to address all types of flood risk associated with the dam and ensures that the necessary measures are in place to protect surrounding communities and maintain the dam's structural integrity.
