Lands around the lake are managed by the Corps of Engineers to preserve their natural value. Land management practices such as prairie restoration, prescribed burning and tree planting help conserve soil and benefit wildlife.
Harlan County Dam controls a drainage area of 7,164 square miles and is part of a network of Corps Lakes that help control flooding on the Republican, Kansas, Missouri and Mississippi Rivers.
