The Albia Reservoir Dam, located in Monroe County, Iowa, was completed in 1938 and serves primarily for recreational purposes. With a dam height of 40 feet and a length of 800 feet, the earth-filled structure creates a storage capacity of 1100 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 632 acre-feet. The reservoir covers a surface area of 46 acres and is fed by TR-Miller Creek.

Managed by the local government and regulated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, the dam is classified as having a significant hazard potential and is rated in fair condition as of the last assessment in 2017. Although the dam has no outlet gates or locks, it features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 24 feet. The risk assessment for the dam is moderate, indicating the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure for both recreational users and downstream communities in the event of a potential breach.
