Lake Oowah Dam (Fs) in Moab, Utah, is a Federal-owned structure regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights. Completed in 1965, this earth dam serves primarily for recreation purposes, including fish and wildlife pond management. With a height of 33 feet and a hydraulic height of 25 feet, the dam holds a maximum storage capacity of 52 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 3 acres.

Despite its significant hazard potential, Lake Oowah Dam (Fs) is currently assessed as being in poor condition, with a last inspection date in July 2019. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with a width of 5 feet, and it is associated with the South Fork Mill Creek. In 1989, the dam underwent modifications to its foundation to ensure its structural integrity.

Located within the Sacramento District, Lake Oowah Dam (Fs) is managed by the Forest Service and has a moderate risk assessment rating. While the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan details are not specified, its critical role in providing recreational opportunities and managing local fish and wildlife populations underscores the importance of ensuring its continued safe operation and maintenance.
