About Dickman Lake Dam

It impounds the Tr-muddy Creek near Cheateau Springs.
The dam stands 33 feet tall, creates a reservoir covering 8 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 141 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 290 square miles. Completed in 1971, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.
