Current Creek, also known as Stockton Dam, is a privately owned dam located in Bannock, Idaho. Completed in 1977, this earth dam stands at a height of 49 feet with a hydraulic height of 43 feet, serving the primary purpose of regulating water flow for Current Creek and Stockton Creek. With a storage capacity of 800 acre-feet and a drainage area of 2.8 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.

The dam has a spillway type of "Uncontrolled" with a width of 19 feet, and outlet gates consisting of slide (sluice gate). Its hazard potential is considered significant, though its condition assessment as of October 2016 was deemed satisfactory. The dam's risk assessment indicates a moderate risk level, with an inspection frequency of every four years. Current Creek Dam serves as a vital infrastructure for water resource management in the region, highlighting the intersection of engineering, environmental conservation, and climate resilience.

Despite being privately owned, the dam is regulated by the Idaho Department of Water Resources, with state jurisdiction, permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safe operation. The dam's location along US Highway 91 and its association with Sacramento District underscore its importance in the water infrastructure network. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the significance of dams like Current Creek in maintaining water quality and quantity amid changing climate patterns is essential for sustainable water management practices.
