Kelly is a private dam located in Toponas, Colorado, along Egeria Creek-TR. Built in 1964, this earth dam stands at 30 feet high and spans 426 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 382 acre-feet. Primarily used for recreation, Kelly also serves irrigation purposes for the surrounding area. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment was deemed unsatisfactory during the last inspection in September 2019.

Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Kelly is regulated by the Colorado Department of Water Resources, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates for water release. While the risk assessment indicates a moderate risk level, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are currently unknown. With a captivating mix of historical significance, recreational value, and water resource management considerations, Kelly offers a fascinating case study for enthusiasts interested in dam infrastructure and climate resilience.
