The earth dam, with a height of 17 feet and a length of 390 feet, impounds the TR-West Fork Double Branch stream, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 186 acre-feet. While the primary purpose of the dam is recreation, it also provides a moderate level of risk management with a hazard potential that is currently not available.
Despite its historical significance, the dam's condition assessment in 2018 revealed poor structural integrity, leading to a risk assessment rating of moderate. With uncontrolled spillways and outdated inspection records, there is an urgent need for maintenance and potential rehabilitation efforts. As climate change continues to impact water resources, Wild Indian Lake Dam stands as a reminder of the importance of proactive management and conservation in sustaining our natural environment for future generations.
