About Beall Lake Dam
The primary purpose of Beall Lake Dam is recreation. The dam creates a reservoir used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. The dam is owned by J Johnson And D Beall (private). It impounds the Kellogg Creek-tr near Gravel Ridge.
The dam stands 14 feet tall and stretches 609 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 9 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 59 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1 square miles. Completed in 1952, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 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.
