Built in 1967, this buttress-type dam has a height of 6 feet and a length of 96 feet, providing a storage capacity of 148 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-VARNER CREEK, this dam serves as a recreational spot for the local community in East Columbia. Despite its modest size, the dam is subject to high risk, with a hazard potential rating of "Not Available" and a risk assessment indicating a high level of risk.
While the dam itself does not have a spillway, it is equipped with one outlet gate for water release. Although there have been no recent inspections since 2010, the dam is reportedly in "Not Rated" condition. It is interesting to note that the original designer of the dam is unknown, adding an air of mystery to this structure. With its location in a picturesque setting and its important role in providing recreational opportunities, Lagoon Reservoir Dam stands as a unique and intriguing feature in the Texas landscape for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore and study.
