Mount Pisgah, also known as Wright's Reservoir, is a private earth dam located in Teller County, Colorado. Completed in 1911, this dam serves primarily for irrigation purposes along Four Mile Creek. With a height of 69 feet and a hydraulic height of 80 feet, Mount Pisgah has a storage capacity of 3,540 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 124 acres.

Despite being privately owned, Mount Pisgah is regulated by the Colorado Department of Water Resources, with state jurisdiction, permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The dam has a spillway width of 60 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 6,073 cubic feet per second. Its hazard potential is classified as high, with a fair condition assessment as of the last inspection in April 2020.

This historic structure not only provides crucial irrigation water but also supports recreational activities in the area. With its scenic location and important role in water resource management, Mount Pisgah stands as a testament to the intersection of human ingenuity and environmental stewardship in the face of changing climate conditions.
