Skyrocket is a privately owned dam located in Calaveras, California, specifically in the city of Telegraph City. Completed in 1999, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 43 feet and spans a length of 585 feet. Its primary purpose is for water supply, with a storage capacity of 1715 acre-feet and a surface area of 54 acres. Situated on Littlejohn Creek, Skyrocket plays a crucial role in providing water resources to the surrounding area.

Managed by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) under the Safety of Dams program, Skyrocket is subject to regular inspections, with the last assessment conducted in September 2017. The dam has been deemed to have a high hazard potential but is currently in satisfactory condition. In the event of an emergency, the dam is equipped with emergency action plans, although their last revision was in March 2021. With its strategic location and vital role in water supply, Skyrocket serves as a key infrastructure for water resource management in the region, making it a significant asset for water and climate enthusiasts to monitor and study for sustainable water management practices.
