Family Enrichment Camp Lake Dam, also known as Kiowa Creek Watershed B-9, is a privately owned recreational dam located in Elbert, Colorado. Built in 1955 by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service and Wright Water Engineers, this earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 108 acre-feet. The dam serves the primary purpose of providing recreational opportunities for families in the area, with a spillway width of 69 feet and an uncontrolled spillway type.
Despite being classified as having low hazard potential and being in satisfactory condition as of the last assessment in 2016, the dam has undergone modifications in 1993 for structural improvements. It is regulated by the Colorado Division of Water Resources and is subject to regular inspections to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations. With its scenic surroundings and proximity to the Kiowa Creek-Trout River, Family Enrichment Camp Lake Dam is a popular destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking outdoor adventure and relaxation in the beautiful Colorado landscape.
