Kokes, located in Sedgewick, Colorado, is a privately-owned dam designed for flood risk reduction on the McCracken Draw river. Completed in 1962, this earth dam stands at a height of 24 feet and has a length of 300 feet, with a storage capacity of 140 acre-feet. While primarily serving the purpose of flood risk reduction, Kokes also provides fire protection and serves as a small fish pond and stock water source.

With a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment as of October 2014, Kokes is regulated by the Colorado Department of Water Resources (DWR) and undergoes regular state inspections, permitting, and enforcement. The dam has a maximum discharge capacity of 3560 cfs and features a spillway width of 82 feet. Despite its high-risk assessment and the absence of an Emergency Action Plan (EAP), Kokes remains a crucial infrastructure contributing to water resource management and climate resilience in the region.
