Washakie Dike No. 2 is a significant earth dam located in Fremont, Wyoming, along the South Fork Little Wind River. Completed in 1935, this Federal-owned structure serves primarily for irrigation purposes, with a maximum storage capacity of 10,300 acre-feet. The dam stands at a height of 23 feet, with a structural height of 25 feet and a hydraulic height of 18 feet, safeguarding a drainage area of 92 square miles.

With a high hazard potential, Washakie Dike No. 2 is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office. The dam's condition assessment remains unrated, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and maintenance. The last inspection in 2017 underscored the importance of regular assessments to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure.

As a crucial water resource in the region, Washakie Dike No. 2 plays a vital role in supporting irrigation and water supply needs. With its historical significance and essential function, the dam represents a key piece of infrastructure in managing water resources and climate impacts in the area. Ongoing efforts to maintain and assess the dam's condition are essential to safeguarding its role in water management and environmental stewardship.
