Pine Flat Dam, also known as Pine Flat Lake, is a gravity dam located in Sanger, California, along the Kings River. Completed in 1954 by the US Army Corps of Engineers, the dam primarily serves flood risk reduction, hydroelectric power generation, irrigation, and recreation purposes. Standing at 412 feet tall with a structural height of 440 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of up to 1,091,700 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 391,000 cubic feet per second.

With a Hazard Potential rating of High, Pine Flat Dam is continuously monitored and managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers to mitigate flood risks. The dam's emergency action plan is regularly updated, and risk management measures are implemented to ensure the structural integrity of the dam and the safety of the surrounding communities. Despite its flood risk reduction capabilities, the dam has limited capacity to store water, and releases may be necessary to manage water levels and prevent structural issues during severe weather events. Overall, Pine Flat Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
