The land was purchased in 1910 and the dam completed in 1911. It supplied water to Dallas residents until a new reservoir was completed in 1929. It was then used as a recreational lake.

It gets really hot here theres no shade but it's a great spot to watch the sunset take a break and fill up on water.

You can see the dam, spillway, and lake from a bunch of different spots. This viewpoint is at the top of the dam next to White Rock Lake looking down the small cascade at White Rock Creek.
