This Earth-type dam stands at 17 feet tall and stretches 1143 feet in length, providing storage capacity for fire protection, stock, or small fish ponds. With a normal storage capacity of 44 acre-feet and a total storage of 91 acre-feet, this dam serves multiple purposes while also contributing to water resource management in the area.
Despite its age, Zane Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment and is considered to have a high risk potential. The dam lacks a spillway and has no associated locks, but is equipped with one outlet gate. The dam's hazard potential is labeled as "Not Available," and it is not currently regulated by the state. With its location in a high-risk area and limited emergency preparedness measures, Zane Lake Dam poses potential challenges for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the resiliency of infrastructure in the face of changing environmental conditions.
