About Holland East Dam

The primary purpose of Holland East 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 Tereasa Lennemann (private). It impounds the Tr-twin Creek.

The dam stands 20 feet tall and stretches 235 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 8 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 57 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1 square miles. Completed in 1960, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.
