The dam is an earth-type structure with a height of 15.3 feet and a length of 300 feet, holding a storage capacity of 22 acre-feet. The spillway, which is uncontrolled, has a width of 330 feet and can discharge up to 2 cubic feet per second.
The dam has undergone modifications in 1977 for structural improvements and in 2015 for hydraulic enhancements. The condition assessment as of February 2018 rated the dam as fair, with a moderate risk level assigned. Despite being privately owned, the dam is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular inspections.
In the event of an emergency, the dam has one slide gate and two uncontrolled gates for water release. The last inspection in October 2017 revealed a satisfactory condition, and the dam is monitored at a frequency of every five years. With its picturesque location along Hog Creek, the Hog Creek Dam provides both recreational opportunities and essential water resource management for the surrounding area.
