Zorinsky Dam, also known as Lake Zorinsky, is a federal-owned rockfill dam located in Omaha, Nebraska, along Boxelder Creek. Completed in 1985 by the US Army Corps of Engineers, this dam serves primarily for flood risk reduction, with additional purposes for fish and wildlife ponds and recreation. Standing at a hydraulic height of 85 feet and a structural height of 90 feet, Zorinsky Dam has a storage capacity of 18,282 acre-feet and a spillway width of 400 feet.

Managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers, Zorinsky Dam poses a high hazard potential and undergoes inspections every 5 years. The dam's risk management measures include continuous monitoring, prioritized maintenance activities, and collaboration with local emergency managers to ensure public safety in the event of a dam-related emergency. With a moderate risk assessment rating, Zorinsky Dam remains a crucial asset in managing flood risks in the region, with ongoing efforts to enhance its resilience against severe weather events and potential issues.
