This earth dam, with a height of 16 feet and a length of 370 feet, serves a primary purpose of recreation, providing a serene lakeside escape for locals and visitors alike. Situated on Glade Creek, the dam has a normal storage capacity of 98 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 181 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 26 acres.
Despite its historical significance and recreational value, the Quitman Club Lake Dam is currently in poor condition, as per a recent assessment in April 2021. While the dam has been inspected every five years, its hazard potential is not available, and it poses a moderate risk. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway, with two uncontrolled and two valve outlet gates. With its proximity to the community of Quitman, future efforts may be needed to ensure the safety and longevity of this cherished water resource in Wood County, Texas.
