Designed by USDA NRCS and completed in 1975, the dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a length of 400 feet, providing flood risk reduction for the area. With a storage capacity of 68 acre-feet, the dam serves multiple purposes including fish and wildlife pond creation, flood risk reduction, and recreation.
