Rabe Dam, located in Seward, Nebraska along the TR-LINCOLN CREEK, was completed in 1967 by the USDA NRCS and is privately owned. This earth dam stands at a height of 12 feet, with a storage capacity of 55 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.46 square miles. The primary purpose of Rabe Dam is flood risk reduction, although it serves other functions as well.

With a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment as of June 2017, Rabe Dam is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources. It undergoes inspections every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and overall safety. The dam has a hydraulic height of 12 feet and a length of 250 feet, providing crucial flood protection for the surrounding area. Despite its relatively small size, Rabe Dam plays a vital role in managing water resources and mitigating the impacts of extreme weather events in the region.
