Starcke Dam, owned by LCRA, creates Lake Marble Falls.
Starcke Dam has the distinction of being the smallest in the Highland Lakes chain and the last one completed. The lake and dam were constructed from 1949 to 1951 for hydroelectricity. Originally named Marble Falls, the dam was renamed in 1962 for Max Starcke, LCRA's second general manager. He served from 1940 to 1955.
LCRA has recently replaced the dam's 50-year-old "bear trap" floodgates with 10 hydraulic flood gates.
The dam has 2 turbines with a capacity of 32 megawatts.
