The dam, with a height of 11 feet and a length of 90 feet, is classified as a gravity dam primarily made of stone with rock and soil foundations. It has a storage capacity of 296 acre-feet and is situated on the Beaver Creek, under the jurisdiction of the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Despite being privately owned and not regulated by the state, Beaver Creek Lake Dam poses a high risk due to its condition assessment not being rated and its last inspection dating back to 1982. The dam does not feature a spillway and has one outlet gate. While the dam's hazard potential and risk assessment are not available, its risk management measures and emergency preparedness status remain unknown. With its historic significance dating back a century, Beaver Creek Lake Dam stands as a reminder of the critical role dams play in providing essential resources and protection to communities.
