Community Pond, located in Montrose, Colorado, is a private water resource managed by the Colorado Department of Water Resources. This recreational pond, situated along Beaton Creek, serves as a habitat for fish and wildlife while also providing opportunities for outdoor recreation. The pond's primary purpose is for recreational use, with a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment as of the last inspection in 2010.
The Earth dam that forms Community Pond stands at a height of 32 feet with a hydraulic height of 29 feet, offering a storage capacity of 18 acre-feet for water enthusiasts to enjoy. With a surface area of 2 acres, this uncontrolled spillway pond boasts a stone core and rock and soil foundations. While the dam was completed at an unknown date, it continues to be regulated, inspected, and enforced by the Colorado Department of Water Resources, ensuring the safety and sustainability of this community resource.
Although the pond has not been significantly modified in recent years, its moderate risk assessment rating indicates a need for ongoing risk management measures. With a designated emergency action plan and updated contact information, Community Pond remains a valuable asset for the local community, providing a tranquil setting for fishing, wildlife observation, and recreational activities in the heart of Colorado's natural beauty.
