About Coursey Lake Dam
The primary purpose of Coursey Lake Dam is recreation. The dam creates a reservoir used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. The dam is owned by Land Acquisition And Land Management (private). It impounds the Snapping Shoals Cr. near South Milstead Community.
The dam stands 20 feet tall and stretches 300 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 10 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 91 acre-feet. Completed in 1960, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.
Data note: Hazard potential describes the consequences if a dam failed; it does not predict the likelihood of failure. Inspection, condition, and emergency-plan fields can be incomplete or delayed. Check state dam-safety officials and local emergency managers for official guidance.
