Lone Pine Farm Lake Dam

About Lone Pine Farm Lake Dam

The primary purpose of Lone Pine Farm 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 Lone Pine Farm (private). It impounds the Tr-east Branch-crawford Creek near Lone Jack.

The dam stands 27 feet tall, creates a reservoir covering 7 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 101 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 90 square miles. Completed in 1932, the structure is well-established, with more than 75 years of service.

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.

Living Downstream

If you live or work downstream of this dam, consider taking these steps: learn your local evacuation routes, check whether your county emergency management office has a dam failure inundation map, and sign up for local emergency alerts. The Missouri dam safety program can provide more specific information about emergency planning for this structure.
