Bellaire, located in Larimer County, Colorado, is a state-regulated dam built in 1904 with a primary purpose of serving as a Fish and Wildlife Pond. This Earth-type dam stands at 9 feet in height and spans 400 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 72 acre-feet. Situated on Elkhorn Creek, Bellaire's normal storage capacity is 50 acre-feet and it covers a surface area of 9 acres.
Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, Bellaire poses a high risk due to its location and the potential impact of a breach. The dam has not been modified in recent years, with its last inspection conducted in September 2013. With a six-year inspection frequency, Bellaire is equipped with a spillway width of 17 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 170 cubic feet per second. Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Bellaire to be an essential component in the ecosystem, supporting fish and wildlife while also offering recreational opportunities for visitors in the area.
