Snakebite Reservoir Dam, located in Franklin, Washington, was completed in 1976 and serves primarily for irrigation purposes. It stands at a hydraulic height of 7 feet, with a structural height matching that figure. The dam is an earth type structure with a core made of stone and a foundation of soil, and it boasts a storage capacity of 56 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 50 acre-feet.

Despite its relatively low hazard potential, the Snakebite Reservoir Dam is regulated by the Washington Department of Ecology and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and safety. Situated on the Tr-Columbia River, the dam also offers recreational opportunities in addition to its primary function for irrigation. With a surface area of 10 acres and a drainage area of 1.72 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region.
