Reynolds is a privately owned dam located in Dillon, Colorado, along Soda Creek. Built in 1938 for irrigation purposes, it also serves recreational activities in the area. The dam stands at 31 feet in height with a length of 332 feet, holding a maximum storage capacity of 244 acre-feet. With a significant hazard potential, Reynolds underwent structural modifications in 2000 to ensure its safety.
Managed by the Colorado Department of Water Resources, Reynolds is regularly inspected and maintained to meet state regulations and enforcement standards. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and a slide gate for outlet control, with a satisfactory condition assessment as of September 2020. Despite moderate risk assessment, Reynolds plays a crucial role in water resource management and flood control in the region, highlighting the importance of sustainable infrastructure for both agricultural and recreational activities in Colorado.
