This man-made lake was completed in 1931 and serves as a popular spot for recreational activities, with a primary purpose of recreation. The dam that creates Eisenhower Lake is a gravity type structure with a height of 14 feet and a hydraulic height of 10 feet, providing a storage capacity of 340 acre-feet and a surface area of 56 acres.
Despite its historical significance and recreational value, Eisenhower Lake is currently assessed as being in poor condition, with a low hazard potential. The last assessment of the dam's condition was conducted in May 2018, highlighting the need for maintenance and potential improvements to ensure the safety and longevity of the structure. While the dam does not fall under federal regulation, it is subject to state jurisdiction and inspection, indicating a level of oversight to monitor its integrity and safety. Water resource and climate enthusiasts visiting Eisenhower Lake can appreciate its beauty while also being mindful of the need for ongoing maintenance and monitoring to preserve this important resource for future generations.
