Colton Pond, also known as Pine Pond, is a state-owned recreational water resource located in Rutland, Vermont. Managed by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation, this serene body of water is nestled in Killington and is fed by the South Branch Tweed River. The dam at Colton Pond, completed in 1964, serves a primary purpose of recreation and stands at a height of 19 feet, with a structural height of 21 feet and a length of 140 feet.

Despite its picturesque setting, Colton Pond poses a significant hazard potential with a poor condition assessment as of the last inspection in June 2015. In the event of an emergency, the preparedness and risk assessment measures remain unclear, raising concerns about its ability to withstand potential threats. With a drainage area of 0.77 square miles and a storage capacity of 330 acre-feet, this gravity dam is an integral part of the local landscape, yet its maintenance and safety protocols may require further attention to ensure the well-being of the surrounding community and environment.
