The dam, standing at 23 feet in height and stretching 1200 feet in length, holds a maximum storage capacity of 2210 acre-feet and a normal storage of 838 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is water supply, drawing from the Kings Creek for its drainage area of 15.4 square miles.
Despite its importance, Lake Woodson Dam has been flagged with a poor condition assessment as of April 2021, with a moderate risk level assigned. The dam has seen structural modifications in 1961 and 1984, but its hazard potential is currently not available. Inspected every 5 years, the dam is maintained by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and features an uncontrolled spillway, two uncontrolled and one valve outlet gates, and a rock foundation. With its rich history and vital role in water resource management, Lake Woodson Dam stands as a key infrastructure for climate and water enthusiasts to monitor in the ever-changing landscape of climate resilience and infrastructure management.
