This reservoir is a major water source for the city of Columbus, Ohio.

It holds 20.8 billion US gallons (79,000,000 m3) of water and has a surface area of 3,272 acres (13.24 km2), or about five square miles.

Construction began during 1953 due to the increased water demand of post-war Columbus.

The project was completed and dedicated in 1955 and the dam officially opened in 1958.
