Its surface area covers 22 acres with a drainage area of 0.3 square miles, making it a significant water resource in the area.

Managed and regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Campbells Ledge Dam is classified as having a significant hazard potential with a fair condition assessment.
