Arrowhead, a privately owned dam located in Weld County, Colorado, serves the primary purpose of irrigation on the Ashcroft Draw river. Built in 1962, Arrowhead stands at a height of 30 feet with a structural height of 38 feet and a length of 1480 feet. The dam's maximum storage capacity is 365 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 230 acre-feet and a surface area of 23 acres.

With a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment as of June 2015, Arrowhead has undergone structural modifications in 2004 to ensure its continued safety and functionality. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 38 feet and a slide (sluice gate) outlet gate. While the risk assessment categorizes Arrowhead as moderate, the dam has not been assigned a Dam Safety Action Classification (DSAC) date, indicating a need for ongoing monitoring and risk management measures to ensure its resilience in the face of various hydrological challenges. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Arrowhead presents a fascinating case study in the management and regulation of a vital water infrastructure in the American West.
