Prosser Creek Dam

Prosser Creek Dam (National ID # CA10179) is a dam in Nevada County, California.

The earthen and rockfill dam was constructed from 1959 to 1962 by the United States Bureau of Reclamation with a height of 163 ft feet and a crest length of 1830 ft. It impounds Prosser Creek (a tributary of the Truckee River) for irrigation storage and winter and spring flood control, part of the Bureau's larger Washoe Project in the Tahoe region. The dam is owned and operated by the Bureau.

The reservoir it creates, Prosser Creek Reservoir, has a water surface of about 750 acre, a shoreline of approximately 11 mi, and has a capacity of 29800 acre feet. Recreation includes fishing (for rainbow and brown trout), boating, camping, hunting, and hiking.
