This private-owned Earth dam standing at 19 feet tall and stretching 600 feet in length harnesses the waters of TR-Hay Creek, with a storage capacity of 122 acre-feet. Despite its age, the dam's condition assessment remains unrated, and its hazard potential is deemed not available, although it carries a high risk assessment.
Managed by the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Kingsbery Dam currently lacks spillways and locks, emphasizing its primary function for irrigation rather than flood control or navigation. The dam's designer remains unknown, reflecting its historical significance and the engineering practices of the time. With ongoing state inspections and permitting, Kingsbery Dam continues to play a crucial role in sustaining water resources for agricultural activities in the region, amidst the challenges posed by climate change and evolving regulatory frameworks.
