Managed by the local government, the dam stands at a height of 19 feet with a length of 950 feet, providing a storage capacity of 867 acre-feet. The dam serves as a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife observation on its 90-acre surface area.
With its uncontrolled spillway and fair condition assessment, Frog Pond Lake Dam poses a moderate risk level. Despite being regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoing inspections, the dam has a history of modifications in 1995 to improve its hydraulic features. The dam's hazard potential is not available, but it remains a key structure in the region for water resource management and recreational purposes.
Overall, Frog Pond Lake Dam is a significant landmark in the Fort Worth District, providing both water storage and recreation opportunities for the local community. Its design by Everett Griffith Jr and Associates Inc reflects a commitment to balancing water resource management with environmental conservation, making it a valuable asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts to appreciate and explore.
