About Coca Cola Lake Dam

The primary purpose of Coca Cola Lake Dam is recreation. The dam creates a reservoir used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. The dam is owned by R Walling (private). It impounds the Mill Creek near Genoa.

The dam stands 15 feet tall and stretches 450 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 34 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 300 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1 square miles. Completed in 1951, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.

This dam has a significant hazard potential classification, meaning that a failure could cause significant economic damage — flooding roads, bridges, or property downstream — but is not expected to result in loss of life.
