Kyte Dam, located in Centralia, Washington, is a privately owned structure on the Tr-Skookumchuck River with a primary purpose of recreation. Completed in 1966, this earth dam stands at a hydraulic height of 20 feet and a structural height of 17 feet, with a length of 253 feet. It has a storage capacity of 27 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.32 square miles.

Despite its recreational focus, Kyte Dam has been assessed with a high hazard potential and poor condition as of the last inspection in August 2019. The dam is regulated by the Washington Department of Ecology and undergoes regular inspection every 5 years. With a history of modifications or updates, the dam lacks information on emergency action plans and risk management measures.

Located in Congressional District 03, Washington, Kyte Dam serves as a critical infrastructure for water resource management in Thurston County. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate change should monitor this dam's condition closely, as its poor assessment and high hazard potential highlight the need for improved risk management and emergency preparedness measures to ensure the safety and sustainability of the surrounding community and environment.
