It impounds the Nichols Creek Offstream near New Point.
The dam stands 25 feet tall, creates a reservoir covering 5 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 67 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1,150 square miles. Completed in 1971, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.
