Built in 1956, this earth dam with a buttress core type spans 500 feet in length and reaches a height of 25 feet, providing a storage capacity of 130 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is recreation, offering a serene oasis for outdoor activities amidst the picturesque surroundings of the TR-East Branch White Oak Creek.
Despite its age, Club Lake Dam has maintained a high risk assessment rating of 2 due to its unavailability of hazard potential information and lack of condition assessment. With no spillway and minimal structural features, the dam's emergency action plan and risk management measures are not readily available. However, the dam continues to be a popular destination for locals and visitors alike, showcasing the harmonious blend of human development and natural beauty in the heart of Texas. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Club Lake Dam serves as a captivating case study of the delicate balance between conservation and recreation in a changing environment.
