Twp Road 127 is a flood risk reduction structure located in Lincoln County, Minnesota, specifically in the city of Canby. Completed in 1995, this earth dam stands at a height of 19 feet and spans 100 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 140 acre-feet. It serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the Yellow Medicine River N B, within the Omaha District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Managed by the local government, Twp Road 127 is regulated by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its functionality and safety. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment in 2018 deemed it satisfactory. With a moderate risk rating, risk management measures for the structure are currently unspecified, but the regular inspection interval of 8 years helps to maintain its operational integrity.

As a crucial infrastructure for managing water resources in the area, Twp Road 127 plays a significant role in mitigating flood risks and protecting the surrounding communities. With its strategic location and design features, this dam stands as a testament to the ongoing efforts to balance water resource management and climate resilience in the region.
