City Mills Dam was a dam on the Chattahoochee River, between Downtown Columbus, Georgia and Phenix City, Alabama. The dam was built in 1907 to power the City Mills grist mill. Previously, a wooden dam dating to 1828 had existed at the site. The dam impounded a 1.3-mile (2.1 km) run of the river reservoir of approximately 110 acres (0.45 km²).

The City of Columbus, Georgia breached the dam on March 12, 2013, to create an urban whitewater area on the river.^[1]
