Locust Ridge Hunting Club dam
Locust Ridge Hunting Club
Locust Ridge Hunting Club, located in Crawford Township, Clinton, Pennsylvania, is a private recreational facility nestled near the picturesque TR Fishing Creek. The club is home to an earth dam that stands at a height of 22 feet and stretches 675 feet in length. Completed in 1965, this dam provides a storage capacity of 41.74 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 4.74 acres, serving as a haven for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
Managed by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Locust Ridge Hunting Club's dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced by state authorities to ensure its safety and compliance with environmental standards. Despite its significant hazard potential, the dam has been deemed satisfactory in condition, with inspections conducted every two years to guarantee its continued functionality. The club's commitment to maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for its members underscores its dedication to responsible water resource management.
As a vital part of the Buffalo District, Locust Ridge Hunting Club contributes to the region's recreational landscape while also serving as a crucial water management structure. With its earth dam design and impressive storage capacity, the club offers a unique blend of leisure and environmental stewardship, making it a must-visit destination for those passionate about water resources and climate conservation.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
- Fair
- No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action.
- Poor
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency.
- Unsatisfactory
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
- Not Rated
- The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
- Significant
- Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environmental damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
- Low
- Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
- Undetermined
- Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.

About Locust Ridge Hunting Club
Where does the data for Locust Ridge Hunting Club come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Significant hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
