Two Wash Detention is a federal fish and wildlife pond located in Washakie, Wyoming, designed and managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Completed in 2003, this gravity dam stands at 37 feet tall and spans 358 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 377.44 acre-feet. The primary purpose of this structure is to support fish and wildlife habitats in the area.

Despite its low hazard potential, Two Wash Detention currently has a poor condition assessment, highlighting the need for maintenance and potential improvements. With a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam's inspection frequency is set at every five years to ensure its continued safety and functionality. The structure is regulated by the State of Wyoming and falls under the jurisdiction of the Wyoming State Engineer's Office.

Located in a picturesque setting along Shorty's Draw and the Big Horn River, Two Wash Detention serves as an important resource for the local ecosystem and provides valuable water storage for the surrounding area. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is essential to monitor and support the maintenance of structures like Two Wash Detention to safeguard our natural habitats and water supply for future generations.
