Located in Jefferson County, Johnsons Lake is fed by TR-RICE CREEK and managed by the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. The dam, standing at 24 feet in structural height, serves the purpose of providing recreational opportunities for the local community.
With a high hazard potential due to its size and location, Johnsons Lake has not been rated for its condition assessment. Despite this, the dam has a hydraulic height of 21 feet and a length of 740 feet. The reservoir's normal storage capacity is 112 acre-feet, with a maximum discharge of 160 cubic feet per second. While the dam has not been inspected recently, it remains an important water resource for the surrounding area, offering a place for outdoor activities and relaxation by the water.
