The dam, primarily owned and regulated by the federal government, stands at a height of 17 feet and spans 300 feet in length. It is classified as an Earth dam with a Buttress core type, designed to hold a maximum storage capacity of 126 acre-feet.
Despite its age, the dam's condition assessment is not rated, and its hazard potential is not available. However, it is subject to regular state inspections and enforcement by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). With a high risk assessment level of 2, there may be potential risks associated with the dam that require monitoring and management measures. Despite these challenges, Boykin Lake Dam remains a popular destination for outdoor recreation activities along Boykin Creek.
