Prosser Creek Dam (National ID # CA10179) is a dam in Nevada County, California.[1]

The earthen and rockfill dam was constructed from 1959 to 1962 by the United States Bureau of Reclamation with a height of 163 feet (50 m) feet and a crest length of 1,830 feet (560 m).[2] 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 acres (300 ha), a shoreline of approximately 11 miles (18 km), and has a capacity of 29,800 acre-feet (36,800,000 m3).[3] Recreation includes fishing (for rainbow and brown trout), boating, camping, hunting, and hiking.[4]
