Horseshoe Dam, also known as Lake Number 6, is a federal-owned structure located in Nye, Nevada, and managed by the Fish and Wildlife Service. Built in 1960 by designer Chuck Armuth, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 9 feet and spans a length of 1385 feet. It serves as a Fish and Wildlife Pond with a storage capacity of 78 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 10 acre-feet.

Situated on the Carson Slough - TR river, Horseshoe Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources for wildlife conservation in the area. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition is assessed as poor, with the last inspection conducted in November 2018. The dam features controlled outlet gates and a spillway width of 27 feet, with a maximum discharge capacity of 850 cubic feet per second.

With its primary purpose of supporting fish and wildlife habitats, Horseshoe Dam stands as a vital infrastructure for environmental sustainability in the region. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and upkeep of dams like Horseshoe become increasingly important in ensuring the protection of both wildlife and the surrounding ecosystem.
