Davenport is a privately owned irrigation dam located in Hotchkiss, Colorado, along a tributary to Bell Creek. Built in 1946, this earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 20 acre-feet. The dam serves the primary purpose of irrigation and is regulated by the Colorado Department of Water Resources, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.

Despite its age, Davenport is classified as having a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment. With a moderate risk level of 3, the dam has not undergone any major modifications since its construction. The spillway is uncontrolled with a width of 5 feet, and the dam has a surface area of 2 acres. The last inspection was conducted in June 2014, with an inspection frequency of 6 years to monitor its safety and integrity. While the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are unspecified, its overall risk level suggests a need for ongoing monitoring and potential upgrades to enhance its resilience in the face of changing climate conditions.
