Freiler Dam, located in Guthrie County, Iowa, is a privately owned structure designed by the USDA NRCS to serve multiple purposes including fire protection, stock watering, and creating a small fish pond. Completed in 1968, this earth dam stands at a height of 22 feet and spans 540 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet, it primarily regulates the flow of water from the TR-BRUSHY CREEK into the SOUTH RACCOON RIVER.

While the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently in "Not Rated" condition, it falls under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Despite not having a designated emergency action plan or updated risk assessment, Freiler Dam contributes to the environmental management of the area by controlling water levels and providing a source of water for various purposes. Its strategic location and design by the Natural Resources Conservation Service make it an essential asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and study in the context of sustainable water management practices.
