With a hydraulic height of 12 feet and a structural height of 18 feet, the dam stretches 545 feet in length and provides a storage capacity of 94 acre-feet. The lake covers 13 acres and has a normal storage level of 62 acre-feet, serving as a serene oasis in the EADS area.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment rating, Log Cabin Lake has not been fully assessed for its condition. The dam is currently not rated for its condition, and there is no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place. However, the last inspection in July 2019 revealed no immediate concerns, and the structure has not been modified since its completion.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Log Cabin Lake offers a unique opportunity to explore a privately owned dam structure in Tennessee. With its tranquil setting and potential for outdoor recreation, this earth dam on Gray's Creek provides a glimpse into the intersection of human infrastructure and natural water resources in the region.
