1 Dam, also known as Old Stage Farms Lake, is a private-owned structure in Warren County, Ohio, designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1967. Situated in South Lebanon, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 25.7 feet and has a length of 300 feet, offering a storage capacity of 57.1 acre-feet. The dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, providing a surface area of 4.6 acres for water activities while also regulating the flow of the tributary to North Fork.
Despite its fair condition assessment, the dam is classified with a significant hazard potential and moderate risk level. It is under state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The last inspection in July 2019 highlighted the need for regular monitoring and potential risk management measures. With its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam requires careful oversight to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the environment. Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Arnett Lake No. 1 Dam an intriguing structure that combines recreational enjoyment with the importance of responsible dam management in mitigating potential risks.
