The dam's spillway, with a width of 100 feet, is uncontrolled, allowing for a maximum discharge of 1700 cubic feet per second. While the hazard potential is not available and the condition assessment is not rated, the risk assessment indicates a moderate risk level. The dam poses a moderate risk (level 3) and there are currently no Emergency Action Plans (EAP) in place. The primary purpose of Antelope Lake Dam is to provide recreational opportunities, attracting water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy the surrounding area.
Located within the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Antelope Lake Dam stands as a testament to engineering excellence by Henry P. Oneal. With its serene surroundings and vital role in water supply and recreation, the dam serves as a significant landmark in Texas for both locals and visitors to appreciate and enjoy.
