Completed in 1900, this earth dam stands at 8 feet high and stretches 950 feet in length, creating a storage capacity of 111 acre-feet for recreational purposes. The dam sits on the TR-UMBAR RUN river and is classified as a controlled spillway type with a low hazard potential.
Despite its historical significance, the Okeetee Club Dam is in poor condition according to a 2017 assessment, with a very high risk rating. The dam has not been modified in recent years and lacks emergency action plans, raising concerns about its ability to withstand potential hazards. With a designated inspection frequency of 5 years, stakeholders must address the structural deficiencies and develop risk management measures to ensure the safety and longevity of this essential water resource infrastructure for both local communities and the environment.
