Dry Creek Dike, also known as Dry Creek Saddle Dam, is a privately owned structure located in New Plymouth, Idaho. Completed in 1976, this earth dam stands at a height of 34 feet and has a hydraulic height of 29 feet. The dam's primary purpose is for irrigation, with a storage capacity of 1,484 acre-feet and a surface area of 160 acres. It is situated on an unnamed stream in Dry Creek, within the Payette County of Idaho.

Despite being privately owned, Dry Creek Dike falls under state regulation, with the Idaho Department of Water Resources overseeing its permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The dam is classified as having a significant hazard potential and fair condition assessment. It has a spillway width of 300 feet and is designed as an uncontrolled spillway type. The risk assessment for the dam is moderate, with a DSAC (Dam Safety Action Classification) of 3.

Overall, Dry Creek Dike serves as a crucial water resource infrastructure for irrigation purposes in the region. Its strategic location and design play a vital role in managing water flow and storage in Dry Creek, contributing to the agricultural landscape of the area. With its state-regulated status and ongoing risk assessment, the dam remains a key element in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in Idaho.
