Hitti Gravel Pit, located in Archuleta, Colorado, is a privately owned recreational facility that was completed in 2013. This Earth type dam stands at 12 feet tall with a hydraulic height of 10 feet, providing a storage capacity of 350 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is for recreation, offering a surface area of 30 acres for activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife viewing.

Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Hitti Gravel Pit is subject to state regulation and inspection by the Colorado Division of Water Resources. The dam has a history of risk assessment, with a high-risk rating of 2, prompting the need for ongoing monitoring and management measures. The last inspection in May 2013 determined the dam to be in satisfactory condition, with a six-year inspection frequency in place to ensure continued safety and compliance.

With its picturesque setting and ample recreational opportunities, Hitti Gravel Pit serves as a valuable asset to the local community and visitors alike. As climate change impacts water resources and infrastructure, the importance of maintaining and managing dams like Hitti Gravel Pit becomes increasingly crucial in ensuring both safety and sustainability for future generations.
