Soda Creek Main Dam, also known as Soda Creek Dam, is a privately owned structure located in Soda Springs, Idaho. Built in 1967 by designer Stoker Johmson, this earth dam stands at a height of 36.3 feet and has a hydraulic height of 31.3 feet. The dam's primary purpose is listed as "Other," with a storage capacity of 2,500 acre-feet.

Situated on Soda Creek, a tributary of the Bear River, the dam spans a length of 1,980 feet and has a surface area of 197 acres. The spillway type is uncontrolled with a width of 25 feet, and the outlet gates consist of slide (sluice gate) mechanisms. The dam's hazard potential is categorized as high, with a fair condition assessment as of the last inspection in July 2019.

Despite its moderate risk assessment score, the Soda Creek Main Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area, providing storage and regulation for the surrounding watershed. With its regulatory oversight by the Idaho Department of Water Resources and a history of state inspection and enforcement, this dam serves as a vital piece of infrastructure in the region's water supply and climate resilience efforts.
