Wall Lake Dam

About Wall Lake Dam

The primary purpose of Wall Lake Dam is fish and wildlife pond. The dam creates habitat for fish and wildlife, supporting local ecosystems and potentially serving conservation goals. The dam is owned by Fowler, Ray (private). It impounds the Taylor Creek near Unincorporated Residence.

The dam stands 40 feet tall and stretches 500 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 19 acres, has a storage capacity of 188 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 100 square miles. Completed in 1949, the structure is well-established, with more than 75 years of service.

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. Its condition is rated poor, meaning the dam has recognized safety deficiencies that require remediation to address risks. The most recent inspection on record was 11/04/2014. That was over 11 years ago.

At 40 feet, this dam is taller than 87% of dams nationwide.
