Grizzly Creek, located in Clipper Mills, California, is a privately owned dam constructed in 1964 for the primary purpose of water supply. It stands at a height of 50 feet with a hydraulic height of 43 feet, serving as a vital resource for both recreation and water supply in the region. The dam has a storage capacity of 76 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 6 acres, with a drainage area of 1 square mile.

Despite its importance, Grizzly Creek Dam has been assessed to be in poor condition with a significant hazard potential. The last inspection in April 2020 raised concerns about its structural integrity, prompting the need for regular monitoring and maintenance. The state regulatory agency, DWR Safety of Dams, oversees the permitting, inspection, and enforcement of safety measures to ensure the dam's compliance with regulations. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the management and maintenance of dams like Grizzly Creek are crucial to safeguarding communities and ecosystems in California.
