Loren Ramsey Fish is a private fish and wildlife pond located in Platte, Wyoming, specifically in the city of Torrington. Built in 1972 by designer J Kenneth Kennedy, this Earth type dam stands at a height of 29 feet with a hydraulic height of 24 feet. The dam has a length of 330 feet and a storage capacity of 83 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 50 acre-feet and a surface area of 6 acres.

Despite its low hazard potential, Loren Ramsey Fish's condition assessment is rated as poor, with its last inspection in September 2018 revealing the need for maintenance or repairs. The spillway type is uncontrolled, with a width of 45 feet, and there is one uncontrolled outlet gate. The dam is associated with the David Creek offstream and serves the primary purpose of providing a habitat for fish and wildlife. With a moderate risk level, there is a need for ongoing risk management measures and potentially a reassessment of the dam's condition to ensure its continued safety and functionality.
