Completed in 1961, this earth dam stands at a height of 21 feet and spans 1990 feet, with a storage capacity of 548 acre-feet. The dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock or small fish pond, fish and wildlife habitat, flood risk reduction, and recreation.
Despite its high risk assessment rating, the condition of the dam is currently not rated, and key information such as the last inspection date and hazard potential are not available. The dam does not feature a spillway and has no locks, with one outlet gate in place. With a drainage area of 2.95 square miles, the dam provides vital water resource management for the area. While more detailed information on the dam's maintenance and emergency preparedness measures is lacking, its role in mitigating flood risks and supporting local wildlife and recreational activities underscores its importance in the region.
