Spring Lake is a privately owned reservoir located in Carbon County, Wyoming, near the city of Saratoga. It was completed in 1970 and serves as a water resource for the surrounding area, with a normal storage capacity of 256 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 416 acre-feet. The dam is primarily earth-filled with a height of 21 feet and a hydraulic height of 16 feet, providing flood control and irrigation benefits to the region.

The reservoir is fed by Spring Creek and covers a surface area of 29 acres. Despite its relatively low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Spring Lake is regulated by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office, with regular inspections and enforcement measures in place to ensure its safety and integrity. The spillway is uncontrolled with a width of 30 feet, and the dam has an outlet gate that is also uncontrolled.

Overall, Spring Lake plays a crucial role in water management and climate resilience in the region, with a moderate risk assessment rating. Its presence contributes to the sustainable use of water resources and serves as a valuable asset for the community of Saratoga and beyond.
