About Country Club Of Mo Lake Dam
The primary purpose of Country Club Of Mo Lake Dam is irrigation. The dam stores and diverts water for agricultural irrigation, supporting farming operations in the surrounding area. The dam is owned by Country Club Of Missouri (private). It impounds the Tr-mill Creek near Columbia.
The dam stands 30 feet tall, creates a reservoir covering 8 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 128 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 110 square miles. Completed in 1972, 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.
