The Lahontan Dam is a dam situated on the Carson River in the Carson Desert between Carson City, Nevada and Fallon, Nevada in the United States. Its impoundment is known as the Lahontan Reservoir or Lake Lahontan. It is currently operated by the Truckee-Carson Irrigation District.
The Lahontan Dam was built by the Bureau of Reclamation as part of the Newlands Project. It is an earthen structure, 162 ft high by 1,700 ft long and contains 733,000 cu yd of fill. When it was completed in 1915, it was the largest earth-fill dam in the United States. The reservoir receives water from an area of 1,450 sq mi and provides a storage capacity of 295,500 acre⋅ft at spillway crest. An additional 23,900 acre⋅ft can be stored by raising the gates, bringing the total capacity to 319,400 acre⋅ft .
