Lamborn #2 is a privately owned earth dam located in Morgan County, Colorado, along the South Platte River. Built in 1955 for irrigation purposes, this dam stands at 16 feet high and spans 800 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 55 acre-feet. Its primary functions include fire protection, stock watering, and recreation in addition to irrigation. The dam has a low hazard potential and is currently in satisfactory condition.

Managed by the Colorado Division of Water Resources, Lamborn #2 undergoes regular inspections, with the last assessment conducted in March 2020. Despite moderate risk assessment, the dam is considered to meet safety guidelines and does not have an emergency action plan in place. The spillway is uncontrolled with a width of 120 feet, allowing for a maximum discharge of 2610 cubic feet per second. This structure plays a crucial role in water resource management and highlights the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams for both agricultural and environmental purposes in the region.
