The reservoir was initially created in 1937 by the construction of Wild Horse Dam. In 1969, a new concrete single-angle arch dam was constructed by the United States Bureau of Reclamation for the Bureau of Indian Affairs with a height of {{convert|87|ft}} and a length of {{convert|458|ft}} at its crest. The original 1937 dam was left in place and is still partly visible. The newer dam doubled the size of the reservoir.[2] The reservoir impounds the Owyhee River for flood control and irrigation storage, part of the larger Duck Valley Irrigation Project. The dam and reservoir are owned and administered by the BIA, and leased to the nearby Duck Valley Indian Reservation (Sho-Pai). Recreation on the lake includes fishing for trout, bass, catfish and perch. The state of Nevada also maintains the adjacent Wild Horse State Recreation Area.[3] The small community of Wild Horse is located on the south shore.[4] GalleryClimate{{Weather box|location = WILD HORSE RESERVOIR, NEVADA |single line = y |precipitation colour = green |Jan high F = 31.8 |Feb high F = 35.3 |Mar high F = 43.5 |Apr high F = 52.0 |May high F = 61.6 |Jun high F = 71.9 |Jul high F = 83.2 |Aug high F = 82.6 |Sep high F = 72.6 |Oct high F = 60.0 |Nov high F = 42.7 |Dec high F = 33.6 |year high F= |Jan low F = 2.6 |Feb low F = 4.1 |Mar low F = 16.5 |Apr low F = 24.2 |May low F = 30.4 |Jun low F = 35.6 |Jul low F = 40.2 |Aug low F = 38.8 |Sep low F = 30.3 |Oct low F= 22.2 |Nov low F = 15.4 |Dec low F = 5.8 |year low F= |Jan precipitation inch = 1.63 |Feb precipitation inch = 1.25 |Mar precipitation inch = 1.28 |Apr precipitation inch = 1.35 |May precipitation inch = 1.74 |Jun precipitation inch = 0.91 |Jul precipitation inch = 0.66 |Aug precipitation inch =0.53 |Sep precipitation inch = 0.55 |Oct precipitation inch = 0.64 |Nov precipitation inch = 1.57 |Dec precipitation inch = 1.80 |year precipitation inch= 14.22 |Jan snow inch = 26.9 |Feb snow inch = 19.1 |Mar snow inch = 13.9 |Apr snow inch = 9.8 |May snow inch = 4.6 |Jun snow inch = 0.3 |Jul snow inch = 0 |Aug snow inch = 0 |Sep snow inch = 0.2 |Oct snow inch = 1.9 |Nov snow inch = 17.2 |Dec snow inch = 25.1 |year snow inch = 121.0 |source = The Western Regional Climate Center [5] }} See also
