Completed in 1925, this earth dam stretches 1,100 feet in length and reaches a height of 21 feet, creating a reservoir with a normal storage capacity of 108 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is for recreational activities, providing a serene setting for fishing, boating, and other water-based pastimes.
Despite its age, the Fin & Feather Club Lake Dam has undergone state regulation, inspection, and enforcement to ensure its structural integrity and safety. However, the dam's condition assessment in 2017 reported it as poor, raising concerns about its long-term maintenance. With a moderate risk rating of 3 out of 5, there are potential hazards associated with the dam, although specific risk management measures are not detailed in the available data. As water resource and climate enthusiasts venture to explore the tranquil waters of Fin & Feather Club Lake, they are reminded of the delicate balance between nature's beauty and the necessity of man-made structures for recreational enjoyment.
