Woods is a privately owned irrigation dam located in Kremmling, Colorado, along Dunning Creek. Completed in 1921, this earth dam stands at 9 feet high with a hydraulic height of 12 feet and a length of 500 feet. With a storage capacity of 76 acre-feet, Woods primarily serves the purpose of irrigation for the surrounding area. Despite being regulated and inspected by the Colorado Division of Water Resources, the dam is classified as low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition as of the last inspection in 1987.

Although Woods Dam poses a moderate risk according to assessments, it remains an essential structure for water resource management in Grand County, Colorado. The dam has a spillway width of 8 feet and a maximum discharge rate of 55 cubic feet per second. With a surface area of 15 acres and a drainage area of zero, the dam plays a crucial role in controlling water flow and providing water for agricultural purposes in the region. While it has not been modified in recent years, ongoing inspections and enforcement ensure the safety and functionality of Woods Dam for the community it serves.
