Little Reservoir Dam, located in Beaver, Utah, is a federal-owned structure managed by the USDA Forest Service for recreation and fish and wildlife conservation purposes. Built in 1929, this earth dam stands at a height of 24 feet and has a storage capacity of 44 acre-feet. Despite its modest size, the dam plays a crucial role in regulating the flow of the TR-SO Fork Beaver River and providing water for various recreational activities.

With a spillway width of 15 feet and an uncontrolled spillway type, Little Reservoir Dam has a significant hazard potential and a poor condition assessment as of February 2016. The dam has undergone structural modifications in 1990 to improve its resilience. Its last inspection in July 2019 revealed the need for ongoing maintenance and potential risk management measures. Despite its challenges, the dam serves as a vital resource for the local community and is a key component of the region's water infrastructure for both humans and wildlife alike. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams like Little Reservoir Dam becomes increasingly critical for water security and ecosystem sustainability.
