Lindies Lake, also known as Coles Lake, is a privately owned reservoir located in Weld County, Colorado. Built in 1894, this earth dam structure serves primarily for irrigation purposes along Lone Tree Creek. With a height of 8 feet and a storage capacity of 250 acre-feet, Lindies Lake covers a surface area of 28 acres and plays a crucial role in water management in the region.
Despite its age, Lindies Lake is in satisfactory condition with low hazard potential, as per the last inspection conducted in 2013. The dam has no spillway and is not associated with any locks, but it is regulated by the Colorado Division of Water Resources and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement measures. While its drainage area is listed as zero, the reservoir remains an important resource for the surrounding community and contributes to the overall water supply in the area.
As an integral part of the water infrastructure in Weld County, Lindies Lake offers a glimpse into the history of water resource management in Colorado. Its strategic location near Kersey and its role in irrigation highlight the importance of maintaining and monitoring such structures to ensure the continued availability of water for agricultural and other purposes in the region. Climate and water resource enthusiasts will find Lindies Lake to be a fascinating example of early engineering efforts to harness water for human use in a sustainable manner.
