The Paterson River is a tributary of the Hunter River. The dam was constructed by the New South Wales Department of Water Resources to supply water for irrigation and was completed in 1971.
Lostock Dam has a concrete lined, flip bucket spillway. The dam was constructed with sandstone rock fill obtained from a separate quarry.
