With a height of 21 feet and a length of 706 feet, the dam holds a maximum storage capacity of 345 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 192 acre-feet. The dam is situated on Spring Branch, within the Fort Worth District, and is monitored and maintained by the state of Texas.
Despite being unregulated by the state, Greenes Lake Dam underwent modifications in 1999 and features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 23 feet. The dam poses a moderate risk, with a hazard potential not available and a condition assessment that is not rated. The structure is equipped with two uncontrolled outlet gates, and the last inspection was conducted in June 2008. While there are no emergency action plans or inundation maps prepared for the dam, it remains a significant water resource for the surrounding area and a potential site for recreational activities.
