Summary
Built in 1912, this earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and spans 900 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 1344 acre-feet, the dam provides essential water resources for the area while also offering a surface area for recreational activities spanning 85 acres.
Owned privately and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the Red River Country Club Dam is a vital part of the local ecosystem. While it has not been rated for its condition, the dam's moderate risk assessment highlights the importance of ongoing maintenance and monitoring. With an uncontrolled spillway and four outlet gates, the dam is designed to manage maximum discharge levels of up to 5200 cubic feet per second, ensuring the safety and stability of the surrounding area.
As a hub for outdoor enthusiasts and climate advocates, the Red River Country Club Dam presents a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of water resource management and recreational activities. Whether enjoying a day of fishing or boating on the reservoir, visitors can appreciate the dam's role in providing both leisure and essential water storage for the community. With a rich history dating back over a century, this structure continues to stand as a testament to the careful balance between human development and environmental stewardship in the region.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
