It is an earth dam with a stone core and soil foundation, overlooking an unnamed tributary with a drainage area of 0.62 square miles. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 51 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 1085 cubic feet per second.
Despite being privately owned, Woodland Ranch Lake Dam is subject to state permitting and inspection, with the last inspection conducted in May 2012. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 81 feet and is equipped with two uncontrolled outlet gates. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3 out of 5, the dam's hazard potential and condition assessment remain unspecified. While not under federal ownership or regulation, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area, highlighting the importance of private infrastructure in addressing climate challenges.
