About Stonebridge Lake 13 Dam

The primary purpose of Stonebridge Lake 13 Dam is flood risk reduction. The dam is designed to control downstream flooding by temporarily storing excess water during storms and releasing it at a controlled rate. The dam is owned by Stonebridge Country Club (private). It impounds the Tr-wilson Creek near Mckinney.

The dam stands 36 feet tall and stretches 800 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 10 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 228 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 0 square miles. Completed in 1988, the structure is 38 years old.

This dam carries a high hazard potential classification, which means that a failure or uncontrolled release of water would likely cause loss of human life. This classification reflects the consequences of failure, not the likelihood — it indicates that people live or work in the area downstream. An emergency action plan is in place for this dam. The most recent inspection on record was 11/29/2016. That was 9 years ago, which is on the longer end for a high-hazard structure.

At 36 feet, this dam is taller than 83% of dams nationwide.
