Sore Finger is a Federal-owned dam located in Big Horn, Wyoming, with a primary purpose of fire protection, stock, or small fish pond. Built in 1965, this earth dam stands at a height of 24 feet and has a storage capacity of 68 acre-feet. The dam, situated on the SORE FINGER DRAW river or stream, serves multiple purposes including flood risk reduction and has a spillway width of 30 feet.

Despite its low hazard potential, Sore Finger is in poor condition as of its last inspection in 2017. With an inspection frequency of 5 years, the dam presents a moderate risk (3) and lacks emergency action preparedness measures. The dam's structural integrity, being of primary concern for water resource and climate enthusiasts, is being monitored closely by the Wyoming State Regulatories to ensure public safety and environmental protection in the event of an emergency.
