Tyson North is a privately owned irrigation dam located in Owyhee, Idaho, along the Reynolds Creek and Snake River. Completed in 1967, this earth dam stands at a height of 27.3 meters with a hydraulic height of 24.8 meters, providing a storage capacity of 150 acre-feet for irrigation purposes. The dam covers a surface area of 38 acres and has a drainage area of 0.3 square kilometers.

Despite being classified as low hazard potential with fair condition assessment, Tyson North presents a moderate risk level, indicating the need for risk management measures. Inspected every five years, the dam's last assessment in July 2019 showed that it meets regulatory standards with state-permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. With an uncontrolled spillway and a spillway width of 24 meters, Tyson North remains a vital structure for water resource management in the region.

As a key component in the water infrastructure of Idaho, Tyson North plays a crucial role in providing water for agricultural activities in the area. Its location within the Sacramento District and under state regulation by the Idaho Department of Water Resources underscores its significance in ensuring water availability for the surrounding communities. With its historical importance and operational efficiency, Tyson North stands as a testament to effective water resource management in the face of changing climate conditions.
