Bruce Park, also known as Terror Creek, is a private water resource located in Paonia, Colorado. Managed by the state regulatory agency DWR, this dam serves multiple purposes including irrigation, fire protection, stock, small fish ponds, and water supply. Completed in 1950, this earth dam stands at a height of 58 feet and has a storage capacity of 598 acre-feet, with a maximum discharge of 580 cubic feet per second.
With a surface area of 33 acres and a drainage area of zero, Bruce Park's high hazard potential and fair condition assessment make it a critical infrastructure for the surrounding community. The dam's uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates contribute to its moderate risk assessment level. While it has no associated structures or locks, regular inspections ensure its safety and effectiveness in water management. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Bruce Park offers a fascinating example of private irrigation infrastructure in Colorado.
