Low is a privately owned Earth dam located in Carbon County, Wyoming, near the city of Fort Fred Steele. Built in 1946 by designer Albert B. Bartlett, this dam serves primarily for irrigation purposes, with a storage capacity of 272 acre-feet. The dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a spillway width of 50 feet, with a maximum discharge of 1332 cubic feet per second.

Despite its age, Low has been well-maintained and is currently assessed to be in fair condition with a low hazard potential. The dam is regulated by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office, which oversees its permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes. With a relatively low risk assessment rating of moderate (3), the dam poses no immediate danger to surrounding areas but requires regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued safety and functionality.

Overall, Low is a modest yet important piece of water infrastructure in Wyoming, providing essential irrigation and water supply services to the local community. With its sturdy construction and effective regulation, the dam continues to play a vital role in managing water resources in the region while maintaining a low risk profile for potential hazards.
