The dam is classified as an earth dam with a height of 25 feet and a length of 1160 feet, providing a storage capacity of 300 acre-feet. Despite being privately owned and not regulated by the state, the dam poses a high risk due to its hazard potential and lack of a spillway.
With no spillway and limited inspection data available, Little Lake Dam presents a potential risk to the surrounding area in the event of a breach or overflow. The dam is situated on the TR-Upper Keechi Creek and is overseen by the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. While it provides recreational opportunities, the dam's condition assessment is not rated, highlighting the need for further evaluation and potential risk management measures to ensure the safety of the community and the environment.
