The dam stands at a height of 28 feet with a length of 492 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 72 acre-feet. While the dam is not regulated by the state, it is subject to inspections and permitting requirements to ensure its safety and functionality.
The dam, constructed as an earth core buttress type, spans the TR-Duck Creek and features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 30 feet. Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, the dam's hazard potential and condition assessment are currently not available. The surrounding area offers opportunities for water-based recreational activities as well as serving as a water supply source. With no associated structures and a single uncontrolled outlet gate, World Challenge Lake No 3 Dam provides a peaceful retreat for enthusiasts of water resources and climate.
