West Logan Ridge Trail Dam, also known as Lower Logan Ridge Trail Dam, is a crucial structure located in Washoe, Nevada, designed by Summit Engineering Corporation to mitigate flood risks along the Truckee River. Completed in 2003, this earth dam stands at a height of 50 feet with a hydraulic height of 46 feet, serving a primary purpose of flood risk reduction. With a storage capacity of 6.6 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 1622 cubic feet per second, the dam plays a vital role in ensuring the safety of the surrounding Mogul community.

Managed by local government authorities and regulated by the Nevada Department of Water Resources, West Logan Ridge Trail Dam has been inspected for safety and maintenance regularly, with a hazard potential rated as high and its condition assessed as fair. Despite its moderate risk assessment, the dam's emergency action plan is up to date, ensuring preparedness for any potential incidents. With an uncontrolled spillway and two outlet gates, the dam remains a critical infrastructure for flood control in the region, highlighting the importance of water resource management and climate resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.
