Hay Press Park - Dam #2, also known as Hay Press Park - North Dam, is a private dam located in Mineral County, Colorado. Built in 1922 by Carl A. Gould, this earth dam stands at a height of 13 feet and serves multiple purposes including hydroelectric power generation, fish and wildlife pond maintenance, and recreation. With a normal storage capacity of 200 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 269 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area.

Situated on Goose Creek-TR, this dam in South Fork, Colorado, is regulated by the state and subject to regular inspections by the Department of Water Resources. With a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment, the dam poses a moderate risk (3) and is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 11 feet. Despite its age, Hay Press Park - Dam #2 continues to contribute to the local ecosystem and provide valuable water resources for the surrounding community. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this dam serves as a fascinating example of early 20th-century engineering and its ongoing impact on the environment.
