West Fork Group No. 2, located in Lake City, Minnesota, is a privately owned earth dam built in 1971 by the USDA NRCS for flood risk reduction along Wells Creek. With a height of 29 feet and a length of 326 feet, this dam has a storage capacity of 30 acre-feet and serves a drainage area of 0.3 square miles. Its spillway type is uncontrolled, and it has a low hazard potential with a satisfactory condition assessment as of December 2015.

Managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, this dam undergoes regular state inspections, permitting, and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. Despite its moderate risk rating, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are currently unspecified. With a primary purpose of flood risk reduction, West Fork Group No. 2 plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding community from potential inundation and maintaining water resource sustainability in the area.
