About French Creek Farms Lake Dam
The primary purpose of French Creek Farms Lake Dam is debris control. The dam is designed to catch sediment, rocks, and debris carried by flowing water — particularly important in areas prone to mudslides or heavy erosion. The dam is owned by French Creek Farms (private). It impounds the Tr-sweet Spring Creek near Forest Green.
The dam stands 25 feet tall, creates a reservoir covering 8 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 107 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 36 square miles. Completed in 1970, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.
This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life.
