Center Street Dam is a 15-foot dam on the Des Moines River in Des Moines with a 384-foot length, rebuilt in 1917.

Paddle craft are not permitted in the area between Center Street and Scott Street dams due to hazards including drownings and visibility issues; anglers should use the Prospect Park ramp for access and portage around the dam via Harriett Street Access east of SE 14th Street.

The city has improved signage and cabling to enhance safety at this urban location.
