Gebhards Dam, located in Nuckolls, Nebraska, is a private earth dam completed in 1968 for the primary purposes of fire protection, stock, and small fish pond. Designed by USDA NRCS, this dam serves as a critical water resource in the area, with a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet and a surface area of 10 acres. Its low hazard potential and not yet rated condition assessment highlight its importance for local water management.
Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Gebhards Dam is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement to ensure its structural integrity and safe operation. With a height of 15 feet and a length of 374 feet, this dam on TR-LOST CREEK provides essential water storage and flood control benefits for the surrounding community.

As part of the Omaha District and overseen by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Gebhards Dam stands as a testament to the collaboration between private owners and government agencies to manage water resources effectively. Its location in the Superior city and association with the USDA NRCS reflect its significance as a vital infrastructure for water supply, agricultural needs, and ecological sustainability in Nuckolls County, Nebraska.
