Warnick Dam, located in Leavenworth, Kansas, serves primarily as a debris control structure along the Salt Creek-TR river. Owned and regulated by private entities, the dam stands at a height of 39.4 feet and has a storage capacity of 88.7 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 60.9 acre-feet. The dam's design, attributed to P.E. Warren L. Welch, features a buttress core type and spans a length of 500 feet, with a spillway width of 30 feet.

Despite its low hazard potential, Warnick Dam has not been rated for its condition as of the last inspection in December 1994. The dam does not have outlet gates, and its associated structures are not specified. While the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are undocumented, the structure meets state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements. Situated within the Rock Island District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Warnick Dam stands as a crucial component in safeguarding the surrounding area against debris and offering additional benefits in fire protection, stock, and small fish pond opportunities.
