Wilson Creek 2-S is a locally owned dam located in Otoe, Nebraska, designed by the USDA NRCS and regulated by the NE DNR. Completed in 1967, this earth dam stands at 33 feet tall and stretches 950 feet in length, serving primarily for flood risk reduction along the TR-N FK LITTLE NEMAHA RIVER. With a storage capacity of 799 acre-feet and a drainage area of 2.2 square miles, Wilson Creek 2-S plays a crucial role in managing water flow and mitigating potential flood hazards in the region.

Despite its age, Wilson Creek 2-S has been assessed as being in satisfactory condition, with a low hazard potential. The dam's last inspection was conducted in June 2016, with a recommended inspection frequency of 5 years. The dam has not experienced any modifications in recent years, and while an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is not currently in place, the dam's risk management measures and adherence to guidelines are yet to be fully documented. With its vital role in flood risk reduction and water resource management, Wilson Creek 2-S stands as a significant infrastructure asset in the region, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of nearby communities in the face of potential climate-related challenges.
