Lakewood is a private dam located in Stewart, Tennessee, specifically in the city of Goodlettsville. Built in 1976, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 29 feet and has a hydraulic height of 21.8 feet. With a primary purpose of recreation, Lakewood also serves the important functions of flood risk reduction. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 66 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 132 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 7.6 acres and draining an area of 0.45 square miles.

Managed by the Tennessee Safe Dams Program, Lakewood is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state. The dam is categorized as having a high hazard potential but is currently assessed as being in satisfactory condition as of the most recent inspection in March 2021. While the risk assessment for the dam is moderate, there are no specific risk management measures or inundation maps prepared at this time. Despite its moderate risk level, the dam's condition is deemed satisfactory, providing a safe recreational environment for visitors and serving as a critical flood risk reduction structure in the area.

Lakewood's location along Tribwalkers Creek and its proximity to the Nashville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers make it a significant part of the region's water resource management infrastructure. With its uncontrolled spillway type and lack of outlet gates, the dam poses a potential risk that is being carefully monitored and managed. As a key player in the region's water resource and climate resilience efforts, Lakewood continues to be an important structure for both recreation and flood risk reduction in the area.
