The Angleton Fishing & Hunting Club Levee in Brazoria, Texas, was completed in 1951 with a primary purpose of providing recreational opportunities for water resource and climate enthusiasts.

This private earth dam structure along the CH-Bastrop Bayou stands at a height of 8 feet and spans a length of 21,500 feet, offering a storage capacity of 3,000 acre-feet. Despite being regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the dam lacks a spillway, potentially increasing the risk of inundation during high water events.
Although the dam's hazard potential and condition assessment are not fully available, it is considered to have a high risk level (2). The last inspection conducted on the levee was in February 1982, and its emergency action plan (EAP) status is unknown. With its location in a recreational area and the absence of associated structures, the Angleton Fishing & Hunting Club Levee presents an intriguing case study for water resource management and climate resilience efforts. Enthusiasts interested in exploring the intersection of infrastructure development, environmental conservation, and public safety may find this levee's history and current status to be a compelling subject of study and discussion.
