Completed in 1959, this earth dam stands at a height of 26 feet and spans 300 feet in length. Its primary purpose is for recreation, offering a serene escape for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding area.
Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the dam is state regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced to ensure its safety and proper functioning. With a normal storage capacity of 38 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 2506 cubic feet per second, the dam serves as a vital component in managing water resources in the region. Despite its age, the dam's condition assessment in 2021 deemed it satisfactory, with a moderate risk level of 3.
The dam's uncontrolled spillway, two outlet gates, and hydraulic modifications in 2004 highlight the continuous efforts to maintain and improve the structure. With its picturesque location along the TR-Little Bear Creek, Eden Lake Dam remains a key feature in the local landscape, offering recreational opportunities while fulfilling its essential role in water management for the community and surrounding areas.
