Griffith is a privately owned dam located in Sheridan, Wyoming, specifically in the city of Powder River. Built in 1952, this earth dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock watering, and small fish pond management along Griffith Creek. With a height of 25 feet and a length of 540 feet, Griffith has a storage capacity of 69 acre-feet and a surface area of 5 acres. Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the dam is subject to regular state inspections and enforcement measures to ensure its safety and functionality.

Managed by the State Engineer's Office (SEO) in Wyoming, Griffith has a spillway width of 95 feet and an uncontrolled spillway type. The dam's outlet includes a single valve, and it is situated in Congressional District 00, represented by Liz Cheney (R). With a moderate risk assessment rating, Griffith has not undergone recent modifications and has a history of meeting state regulatory requirements. Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the management and maintenance of small-scale dams will find Griffith's data to be a valuable resource for understanding the intersection of water infrastructure, environmental stewardship, and public safety in the region.
