Robbins Dam, located in Dallas County, Iowa along TR-Panther Creek, serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond. Built in 1967 by USDA SCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 33 feet and stretches 257 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 38 acre-feet and a surface area of 2.2 acres, it plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region.

Owned privately, Robbins Dam is regulated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and is subject to regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and safety. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam is rated as moderate risk level 3. While currently in a "not rated" condition assessment status, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plans are yet to be fully developed and implemented. With its tranquil setting and vital role in water storage and management, Robbins Dam is a valuable asset for the local community and ecosystem.
