Completed in 1962 on TR Hay Creek, this earth dam stands at a height of 13.6 feet and has a hydraulic height of 5.6 feet. With a storage capacity of 12,000 acre-feet, the dam primarily serves recreational purposes and has a low hazard potential with a fair condition assessment.
Managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WIDNR), the dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state agency. The structure covers a surface area of 2,200 acres and has a normal storage level of 3,700 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has a very high risk assessment rating (1), indicating the importance of ongoing monitoring and management to ensure its safety and longevity for water resource and climate enthusiasts who frequent the area.
In the event of an emergency, the dam's Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status and risk management measures are currently unspecified. However, with a regular inspection frequency of 10 years and a history of fair condition assessments, Crex Meadows Phantom Lake Dev remains a key feature in the region's water infrastructure landscape.
