Standing at a height of 28 feet, this earth dam is primarily used for recreational purposes, offering a surface area of 20 acres and a storage capacity of 386 acre-feet. Situated on Black Creek, the dam lacks a spillway and has not been regulated by the state, posing a high risk due to its condition not being rated.
Despite its age, Indian Hill Lake Dam has not undergone any modifications and is inspected periodically, with the last assessment conducted in May 2014. With no emergency action plan in place and limited regulatory oversight, the dam's hazard potential and risk assessment are marked as "Not Available" and "High (2)" respectively. The dam's location within the Fort Worth District makes it a significant feature for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor, given its historical significance and potential impact on the surrounding environment.
