Managed by a private owner, this earth dam stands at 13.5 feet high and spans 154 feet in length, with a maximum storage capacity of 31 acre-feet. The dam, designed by Willis Environmental Engineering Inc, regulates the flow of the TR-DEER HOLLOW stream and is subject to state regulatory oversight by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
With a satisfactory condition assessment as of April 2021, Horseshoe Bay West Dam C poses a moderate risk level and has undergone a structural modification in 1997. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 40 feet and is equipped with one uncontrolled and one valve outlet gate. Despite its age, the dam has been regularly inspected and meets state permitting and enforcement requirements. The nearby community benefits from the dam's water storage and recreational opportunities, making it an important resource in the region for both water management and leisure activities.
