Pilot Butte Dam (National ID # WY01381) is a dam in Fremont County, Wyoming.
The earthen dam was constructed in 1926 by the United States Bureau of Reclamation, with a height of 64 feet, and a length of 55 feet at its crest. It provides offstream storage for flood control and irrigation water as part of the larger Riverton unit of the extensive Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin Program. The dam is owned by the Bureau, and operated by the local Midvale Irrigation District.
The reservoir it creates, Pilot Butte Reservoir, has a normal water surface of 1.4 square miles, and a maximum capacity of 36,900 acre-feet. Recreation includes fishing (for trout, ling, and crappie, etc.), hunting, boating, camping and hiking.
