This private-owned earth dam stands at a height of 22 feet and has a length of 850 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 123 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-Brazos River, the dam does not have a spillway and is not regulated by the state.
Despite being unregulated, the dam has not been rated for its condition, posing a high risk level. With no recent inspection data available, the hazard potential and emergency preparedness of Mcmurrey Lake Dam remain unknown. The dam is not associated with any federal agencies and does not have a designated designer or construction team. Despite its lack of regulatory oversight, the dam continues to be a point of interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts due to its unique design and historical significance in the region.
