This private dam stands at a height of 51 feet and spans a length of 1400 feet, holding a maximum storage capacity of 1100 acre-feet with a normal storage level of 579 acre-feet. Situated on Mustang Creek and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the dam has a structural design classified as an Earth dam with a Buttress core type.
Despite being inspected last in 1982, the condition assessment of Mustang Lake Dam remains unrated, with a high risk potential assigned. With no spillway and limited information on its drainage area or spillway type, the dam presents potential hazards that warrant attention. As a point of interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts, Mustang Lake Dam serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and monitoring dam infrastructure for both agricultural and recreational purposes in the region.
