Built in 1978 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond. With a height of 17.3 feet and a length of 315 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 55.5 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 3.6 acres. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is in poor condition as of the last inspection in May 2017.
Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Camp Creek 61-C is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement. Situated within the jurisdiction of the state, the dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience in the region. With its proximity to Niobrara and the Omaha District, the dam serves as a vital infrastructure for local communities and wildlife. Despite its condition assessment, efforts are being made to ensure the safety and functionality of Camp Creek 61-C for the future.
