Pitkin is a private dam located in Valley, Idaho, along Skunk Creek and Clear Creek. Completed in 1974, this earth dam stands at a height of 20.9 feet and has a hydraulic height of 17.4 feet, serving primarily for recreational purposes. With a storage capacity of 110 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 15.8 acres, Pitkin poses a significant hazard potential due to its uncontrolled spillway type and fair condition assessment.

Despite its recreational primary purpose, Pitkin is regulated by the Idaho Department of Water Resources, with state jurisdiction, permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The dam's inspection frequency is set at 4 times a year, with the last assessment conducted in September 2020. The risk assessment for Pitkin indicates a moderate risk level, with emergency action plans and risk management measures needing further development to ensure the safety of downstream communities in case of a potential failure.

Located in the Walla Walla District and under the representation of Congressman Russ Fulcher, Pitkin serves as a vital water resource in the region. With its associated structures being non-existent and a focus on recreational activities, Pitkin is an integral part of the water infrastructure in Valley, Idaho. Ensuring the continued maintenance and safety of this dam is essential for the sustainable management of water resources and climate resilience in the area.
