Freiler Dam, located in Guthrie County, Iowa, is a privately owned structure designed by the USDA NRCS and regulated by the Iowa DNR. Built in 1964, the earth dam stands at a height of 27 feet and spans 523 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 133 acre-feet. The primary purpose of the dam is for fire protection, stock, or small fish pond use, serving the South Raccoon River and TR-Brushy Creek.

Despite its low hazard potential, Freiler Dam is categorized as having a moderate risk level, with a condition assessment of "Not Rated." The dam has not been inspected since November 1967, and there is no information available on emergency action plans or risk management measures. With its uncontrolled spillway and location in a drainage area of 0.47 square miles, Freiler Dam presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in understanding the dynamics of small-scale dam infrastructure in the Midwest.
