Anderson is a privately owned dam located in Routt County, Colorado, specifically in the city of Craig. Built in 1906, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 17 feet and spans a length of 542 feet, with a storage capacity of 233 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is irrigation, but it also serves fire protection, stock, and small fish pond needs. The dam is regulated by the Colorado Department of Water Resources, ensuring that it meets state inspection, permitting, and enforcement standards.

Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, Anderson faces moderate risk due to its location on Elkhead Creek-TR. The dam has a maximum discharge capacity of 249 cfs and an uncontrolled spillway type. Emergency action plans are not available for the site, indicating a potential area for improvement in risk management measures. The last inspection conducted in August 2018 showed no significant issues, but regular monitoring and maintenance are essential to ensure the safety and reliability of this vital water resource infrastructure.
