About Lone Tree Dam

The primary purpose of Lone Tree Dam is fish and wildlife pond. The dam creates habitat for fish and wildlife, supporting local ecosystems and potentially serving conservation goals. The dam is owned by Jeff Munsell & Richard Dillion (private). It impounds the Tr. Owl Creek.

The dam stands 24 feet tall and stretches 750 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 17 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 267 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 6 square miles. Completed in 2004, the structure is relatively new.

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. The most recent inspection on record was 10/19/2005. That was over 20 years ago.
