Vobedja, located in Perkins, South Dakota, is a state-regulated dam on Dry Run Creek with a low hazard potential.
Built in 1934 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), this earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet and stretches 460 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 360 acre-feet. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 70 feet and a maximum discharge of 4100 cubic feet per second.

With its historical significance and importance in managing water resources in the area, Vobedja serves as a reminder of the efforts made in the past to address water management needs in the region.
