This private dam, with a primary purpose of "Other", spans 425 feet in length and reaches a height of 20 feet, holding a maximum storage capacity of 283 acre-feet. Situated on a tributary of Kickapoo Creek, the dam features an uncontrolled spillway and is not regulated by the state.
With a moderate risk assessment rating, the Dekkers Lake No 2 Dam is equipped with slide and uncontrolled outlet gates for water release. Although the condition assessment is not rated, the dam has not been inspected recently, and emergency action plans have not been updated. Despite these challenges, water resource and climate enthusiasts will find intrigue in the structural design and hydraulic features of this earth dam, contributing to the management of water resources in the region.
