With a hydraulic height of 6.5 feet and a structural height of 12.5 feet, the dam has a significant hazard potential but is currently in satisfactory condition. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 190 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 630 acre-feet, servicing a drainage area of 1.12 square miles.
Managed by the Tennessee Safe Dams Program, the dam undergoes regular inspections, with the last assessment conducted in September 2020. Despite its moderate risk classification, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are currently unspecified. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, and it has no outlet gates. While the dam's primary purpose is for recreation, its location and design highlight the importance of maintaining its integrity to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and ecosystems.
Lakewood Park #2 serves as a vital recreational resource in the area, offering a surface area of 50 acres for leisure activities. With its proximity to the Tribduck River and the Nashville District, the dam provides an idyllic setting for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy nature while also appreciating the engineering marvel that supports the park's infrastructure. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the safe management and maintenance of dams like Lakewood Park #2 are essential for sustainable water access and ecosystem preservation in the region.
