Bull Park #2 is a privately owned irrigation dam located in Yampa, Colorado, along Watson Creek. Completed in 1911, this earth dam stands at 22 feet in height and spans 150 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 75 acre-feet. The dam serves the primary purpose of irrigation and is regulated by the Colorado Department of Water Resources, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance.

With a history of regular inspections every 6 years, the last assessment was conducted in August 2015, highlighting the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance to mitigate any potential risks associated with this vital water resource infrastructure.

The surrounding community and water resource enthusiasts are encouraged to stay informed about the state of Bull Park #2, as it plays a crucial role in supporting irrigation activities in the region. With its historical significance and ongoing regulatory oversight, ensuring the safety and stability of this dam is essential for water management and climate resilience efforts in the area.
