Dull Knife, also known as Enl of 6800r, is a privately owned earth dam located in Johnson, Wyoming, along the North Fork Powder River. Completed in 1966, this irrigation dam stands at 80 feet in height, with a hydraulic height of 74 feet and a length of 570 feet. It has a storage capacity of 5003 acre-feet, serving the purpose of irrigation for the surrounding area.

Despite being privately owned, Dull Knife is regulated by the State of Wyoming, with inspections and enforcement measures in place to ensure its safety and functionality. The dam has a high hazard potential and a fair condition assessment, with a moderate risk rating.
