Spirit Lake in Daggett County, Utah is a privately owned reservoir regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights. Built in 1934 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at 18 feet tall with a hydraulic height of 14 feet. With a storage capacity of 550 acre-feet, the lake primarily serves irrigation purposes for the surrounding area.

Located in the Middle Fork drainage area, Spirit Lake is a crucial water resource for the community, storing up to 350 acre-feet of water for agricultural use. The dam, managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, has a significant hazard potential and undergoes inspections every two years to ensure its structural integrity. Although the condition assessment is currently not rated, the lake remains a vital asset for water management in the region.

Despite lacking certain risk assessment details, the reservoir plays a key role in water distribution and conservation efforts. As a focal point for irrigation activities, Spirit Lake stands as a testament to sustainable water resource management in Utah's diverse climate landscape.
