About Stoner Dam
The primary purpose of Stoner Dam is fire protection, stock, or small fish pond. The dam maintains a small impoundment used for fire suppression, livestock watering, or as a fish pond. The dam is owned by Ralph Stoner (private). It impounds the Tr-camp Creek near Hamburg.
The dam stands 40 feet tall and stretches 530 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 13 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 270 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1 square miles. Completed in 1959, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.

At 40 feet, this dam is taller than 87% of dams nationwide.
