Completed in 1958, this earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet and has a length of 510 feet, creating a storage capacity of 122 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-Prairie Dog Town FK Red River, this dam is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement measures to ensure safety and compliance with state regulations.
Despite its recreational purpose, the Spring Lake Rod and Gun Club Lake Dam has been assessed as being in poor condition, with a moderate risk level assigned to it. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and one uncontrolled outlet gate, with a hazard potential that is not available. The last inspection in March 2016 revealed the dam's condition, prompting the need for ongoing risk management measures to address any potential safety concerns. As a key feature in the Fort Worth District, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and environmental conservation efforts in the area.
