Fellows is a private hydroelectric dam located on the Black River in Windsor County, Vermont. Completed in 1990, this gravity dam stands at a height of 10 feet and has a length of 200 feet, with a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet. The dam serves the primary purpose of hydroelectric power generation and is regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Fellows dam is deemed to be in satisfactory condition. Although inspections are conducted every three years, the last assessment was carried out in September 2019. The dam's spillway, an uncontrolled type with a width of 180 feet, can handle a maximum discharge of 7687 cubic feet per second, supporting the efficient management of water flow in the area.

Overall, Fellows dam plays a crucial role in harnessing renewable energy from the Black River while also serving as a reliable structure for flood control and water management in the region. Its strategic location and design contribute to sustainable water resource utilization and climate resilience efforts in Vermont.
