About Logan Linville Structure Dam

The primary purpose of Logan Linville Structure Dam is grade stabilization. Grade stabilization dams prevent erosion by reducing the slope and velocity of water flowing through a channel. They're commonly used to stop gullies from deepening and to protect downstream land and infrastructure. The dam is owned by Logan Linville (private). It impounds the Tr-florida Creek-nodway Rvr. near Skidmore.

The dam stands 29 feet tall and stretches 420 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 7 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 47 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 240 square miles. Completed in 1964, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.

This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life.
