Glen Carin, a privately owned dam located in El Paso County, Colorado, was completed in 1899 and serves primarily as a water supply source in the region. Situated along the Little Turkey Creek-TR, this earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet and has a length of 600 feet. With a storage capacity of 53 acre-feet and a surface area of 4 acres, Glen Carin also supports fire protection, stock maintenance, small fish ponds, recreation, and water supply purposes.

Despite its low hazard potential, Glen Carin is classified as having a high risk level, indicating the need for diligent risk management measures. While the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, the last inspection took place in November 1988. Given its historical significance and importance in providing water resources, Glen Carin remains under state regulation, with permitting, inspection, and enforcement conducted by the Colorado Department of Water Resources. The dam's location in Pueblo, Colorado, and its association with various water-related activities make it a key structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area.
