Champion Creek Dam, located in Mitchell County, Texas, is a privately owned structure designed by FREESE AND NICHOLS. Completed in 1959, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 120 feet and spans a length of 6700 feet along Champion Creek. The dam serves multiple purposes, including recreation and water resource management, with a storage capacity of 90,200 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 42,500 acre-feet.

With a fair condition assessment as of 2014, Champion Creek Dam is regulated and inspected by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 550 feet and is equipped with two uncontrolled and one valve outlet gates. In the event of a hazard, the dam has a moderate risk level, with an inspection frequency of 5 years to ensure safety and compliance with regulatory standards.

As a significant feature in the Fort Worth District, Champion Creek Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and providing recreational opportunities in the region. Its strategic location and design highlight the importance of maintaining infrastructure for both water supply and climate resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.
