Dam Anchor Lake Dam is high and long.
History The dam was completed in 1965.
In 2026, flooding from Tropical Storm Arthur caused a scare and evacuation around Anchor Lake and East Hobolochitto Creek as the dam holding back Anchor Lake threatened failure. A flash flood emergency was also declared for the surrounding area. Officials drained water from the reservoir to prevent overflow.
