Lehman Creek Lower is a private recreational dam located in Idaho, specifically in Custer County. Completed in 1999, this earth dam stands at a height of 21 feet with a hydraulic height of 17 feet, providing a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet. With a spillway width of 25 feet, the dam has a low hazard potential and is primarily regulated by the Idaho Department of Water Resources.

Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is rated as poor, with the last inspection conducted in August 2017. The dam is situated on Lehman Creek, contributing to a drainage area of 10.8 square miles and a surface area of 6 acres. While the risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk, the dam continues to serve its primary purpose of recreation.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Lehman Creek Lower intriguing due to its location in a remote area and its role in providing recreational opportunities. The dam's design, construction, and regulatory oversight offer valuable insights into water management practices in the region. As efforts to improve the dam's condition and ensure its long-term safety continue, it remains a noteworthy site for those interested in the intersection of water resources and environmental stewardship.
