Hoagland #1 is a privately owned irrigation structure located in Kremmling, Colorado, on Elliott Creek.
Built in 1910, this earth dam stands at 34 feet tall and spans 700 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 628 acre-feet. The dam serves multiple purposes, including irrigation and recreation, and is regulated by the Colorado Department of Water Resources.
Despite being classified as having low hazard potential, Hoagland #1 is assessed to be in fair condition as of its last inspection in August 2004. The dam features a slide (sluice gate) outlet gate and an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 10 feet. The risk assessment for this structure is considered moderate, with a designated risk level of 3.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the historical and technical aspects of irrigation infrastructure will find Hoagland #1 to be an intriguing case study. Its location in Summit County, Colorado, and its role in water management on Elliott Creek make it a noteworthy example of early 20th-century water engineering in the region.
