About Hisle Lake Dam

The primary purpose of Hisle Lake 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 Gary Hisle (private). It impounds the Tr-north Fk Walnut Creek near Forest Green.

The dam stands 20 feet tall, creates a reservoir covering 10 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 107 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 69 square miles. Completed in 1960, 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.
