Standing at a height of 13 feet and a length of 550 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 161 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 9 acres. Situated on TR-Beaver Creek, the dam is owned privately and is not regulated by the state.
Despite its low hazard potential and unrated condition assessment, Long Lake Dam poses a high risk (2) according to the available data. With no spillway and limited inspection information, the dam's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and management measures remain unclear. The dam's association with the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers indicates potential federal oversight, though specific details are lacking in the dataset. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Long Lake Dam represents a unique case study in private dam ownership and management in Texas.
