Dickmeyer Dam, located in Gosper, Nebraska, is a privately owned structure designed by USDA NRCS in 1964. This earth dam, standing at 20 feet high and 145 feet long, serves multiple purposes such as fire protection, stock, and small fish pond. With a normal storage capacity of 7 acre-feet and a drainage area of 9.2 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.

Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Dickmeyer Dam has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam is inspected every 5 years, with the last inspection taking place in April 2019. While the structure has not undergone any modifications over the years, it remains an important asset for the community, providing essential water storage and flood protection services.

Situated along the TR-ELK CREEK, Dickmeyer Dam is part of the Omaha District and falls under the jurisdiction of NE DNR. With its strategic location and functional design, the dam continues to play a vital role in water resource management, climate adaptation, and emergency preparedness efforts in the region.
