Completed in 1965, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a length of 440 feet, creating a reservoir with a normal storage capacity of 199 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 280 acre-feet. The primary purpose of Lake Connie Jean Dam is for fire protection, stock, or as a small fish pond, with additional recreational uses.
Situated on Williams Creek and under the jurisdiction of the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Lake Connie Jean Dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 100 feet. Despite being assessed as having a moderate risk level, the dam's condition is currently unrated, with its last inspection dating back to October 2008. While the hazard potential is not available, the dam has two uncontrolled outlet gates and has not been modified since 1988. Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find this dam an interesting structure to study and monitor for its impact on the local environment and community.
