Joe Long is a privately owned dam located in Van Buren, Tennessee, along the Tribbee Creek. Managed by the Tennessee Safe Dams Program, this earth dam was completed in 2011 for the primary purpose of recreation. With a hydraulic height of 30 feet and a structural height of 37 feet, Joe Long spans 635 feet in length and has a storage capacity of 345 acre-feet.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and being in satisfactory condition as of the last inspection in April 2020, Joe Long poses a moderate risk due to its location and design. With a drainage area of 0.48 square miles and a surface area of 20.6 acres, this dam serves as a recreational spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts to appreciate nature and the importance of water management. While the dam currently meets regulatory standards, ongoing monitoring and risk management measures are crucial to ensure its continued safety and functionality.
