Fehseke Dam, located in Lee County, Iowa, was completed in 1999 and serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and a small fish pond. The dam, designed by Scott R. Fehseke, is classified as an Earth dam with a height of 44 feet and a length of 650 feet. It has a storage capacity of 92 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 6 acres, with a drainage area of 0.05 square miles.

Managed by a private entity, Fehseke Dam is regulated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, making it a crucial structure for water resource management in the area. Situated on TR- Lost Creek, the dam plays a significant role in flood control and water supply for the surrounding community.

Despite its small size, Fehseke Dam contributes to the overall water resource infrastructure in Lee County and provides essential services for local residents. With its strategic location and well-maintained operational standards, the dam remains a key asset for ensuring water security and environmental sustainability in the region, particularly in times of climate variability and changing water dynamics.
