The dam, primarily owned by a private entity, stands at a height of 28 feet with a length of 620 feet, providing a storage capacity of 123 acre-feet. Despite its relatively small size, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area, particularly for the TR-W Fork East Bosque River.
While El Colina Lake Dam does not have a spillway or locks, it is subject to periodic state inspections and permitting to ensure its safety and functionality. The dam's hazard potential is classified as "Not Available," with a risk assessment indicating a high level of risk. Although the condition assessment is not rated, the dam is maintained to meet regulatory standards. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the El Colina Lake Dam serves as a fascinating example of how private entities can contribute to water management and recreational activities in the region.
