Slide is a privately owned dam located in Edgemont, South Dakota, along the Stockade Beaver Creek. Built in 1961 by Delbert E Robinson, the dam stands at 27 feet in height and stretches 555 feet in length, with a primary purpose of fire protection, stock, or small fish pond. The dam has a low hazard potential and is classified as being in fair condition as of the last assessment in August 2017.

With a maximum storage capacity of 113 acre-feet and a normal storage of 68 acre-feet, Slide serves as a critical water resource for the surrounding area. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 5 feet, and is equipped with a single sluice gate for controlled water release. Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, Slide has a history of regular inspections and maintenance, ensuring its continued safety and functionality for the community.

Owned by a private entity, Slide plays a key role in providing fire protection and water storage for the region. With its strategic location and design features, the dam serves as a vital infrastructure for managing water resources and mitigating potential risks associated with flooding. As climate change continues to pose challenges for water management, dams like Slide will play an increasingly important role in ensuring the resilience and sustainability of water systems in Wyoming.
