Standing at 12 feet in height and stretching 750 feet in length, this dam controls the waters of the TR-Wichita River, providing a storage capacity of 110 acre-feet. While the dam does not have a spillway, it is equipped with one outlet gate.
Despite its recreational function, Ikard Lake Dam poses a high risk due to its condition being unrated and its hazard potential not available. With no emergency action plan in place and no recent inspection data, there are concerns about the safety and maintenance of this structure. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to advocate for proper management measures and risk assessments to ensure the integrity of Ikard Lake Dam and the safety of surrounding communities.
