Milford Dam, also known as Milford Lake, is a federal-owned rockfill dam located in Geary County, Kansas. Completed in 1967 by the US Army Corps of Engineers, the dam stands at a hydraulic height of 147 feet and a structural height of 126 feet, with a length of 6,300 feet and a volume of 15,000,000 cubic yards. The dam serves multiple purposes including flood risk reduction, fish and wildlife pond, recreation, and water supply, and has a maximum storage capacity of 1,145,000 acre-feet.

With a high hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the US Army Corps of Engineers actively manages flood risks associated with the dam. This includes monitoring its condition, prioritizing risk-reducing activities, and engaging with local emergency managers and the public to raise awareness and preparedness for potential dam-related emergencies. Regular maintenance and repairs are conducted to ensure the dam's structural integrity, and an emergency action plan is regularly updated to guide response in case of an emergency. Despite these measures, the dam still faces risks from severe weather events and potential overflows, highlighting the importance of ongoing risk management efforts.
