Lakewood Park #2 dam
Lakewood Park #2
Lakewood Park #2, located in Coffee, Tennessee, is a private earth dam structure constructed in 1988 for recreational purposes along the Tribduck River. 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.

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 Lakewood Park #2
Where does the data for Lakewood Park #2 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.
