It is a 92 foot high concrete dam that is 1,700 feet long, blocking Fish Creek in the lower ranges of the Pioneer Mountains. Located 11 miles northeast of Carey, Idaho, the dam was completed in 1923. It was a work of John S. Eastwood.
The dam was listed on the National Register in 1978; the listing included just the one contributing structure on a 5-acre (2.0 ha) area.
In 2007, it was identified as one of the four highest-hazard dams in Idaho, having significant threat to human lives if it were to fail.
