The dam is 14 m high and has a crest length of 550 m. It is an earth dam with an asphalt concrete outer seal. The highest measured water depth is 12 m, but in summer it is only an average of 7.50 m, and in winter it is an average of 5.50 m. The dammed water surface is a maximum of 125 hectares with a lake length of 3.6 km. The Kinzig Dam holds up to 7.2 million cubic meters of water.

The flood relief system is designed so that even in the event of a flood, which occurs on average once in 1000 years, the dam would not be flooded. The system is a reinforced concrete structure, consisting of three weir fields with three steel dam flaps, control tower, operating building, turbine, bottom outlet, fish pass, and an inlet and outlet pass system. The nominal output of the turbine is 315 kW.

For nature lovers there is a 6.5 km long circular path around the reservoir. The "Rimbach Farm" restaurant can be reached through an underpass. A kiosk and pedal boat rental are open from May to September. The Hessian long-distance cycle route R3 (Rhine-Main-Kinzig cycle route) runs along its northern bank. Under the motto "In the footsteps of the late harvest rider", it leads along the Rhine, Main and Kinzig via Fulda to Tann in the Rhön.

The reservoir is always worth a visit! Beautiful flat with great benches, pedal boat and stand-up paddle rental also available. Snacks and drinks are also available. It's worth it.
