The surrounding area has a surface area of 14 acres and is used for recreational purposes such as fishing and wildlife habitat.
Overall, Hervey Lake No 1 Dam is a vital resource for the local community, providing essential water storage for fire protection and livestock use. Its location on the TR-WILLOW CREEK adds to the natural beauty of the area, making it a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts and wildlife enthusiasts alike. With its high risk potential, ongoing monitoring and maintenance efforts are crucial to ensure the safety and longevity of this important water resource infrastructure.
