Soldier Lake Dam, located in Tucson, Arizona, was completed in 1922 and is owned by the Forest Service. This stone dam stands at a height of 23 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 15 acre-feet. The dam, situated on Sabino Canyon, serves the primary purpose of controlling water flow in the area. With a significant hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.

The dam features a controlled spillway type with a width of 1 foot and outlet gates for water release. Despite not being rated for its condition assessment, the dam's risk management measures and emergency preparedness status remain unclear. The surrounding area, characterized by a very high risk level, suggests the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the dam's structural integrity and safety. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Soldier Lake Dam to be an intriguing example of historical water infrastructure in need of continued attention and care.
