Perkins & Kinney, located in Park County, Wyoming, is a privately owned irrigation dam constructed in 1923 by designer Howard F. Bell. Situated along the South Fork Sage Creek, this earth dam stands at a height of 35 feet with a hydraulic height of 30 feet, serving primarily for irrigation purposes with a storage capacity of 1556 acre-feet. The dam is classified as having a low hazard potential, but its condition assessment is rated as poor, indicating a need for maintenance and possible rehabilitation.

Despite its age, Perkins & Kinney continues to play a crucial role in water resource management in the region, maintaining a surface area of 57 acres and a drainage area of 0. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 8 feet and a single valve outlet gate for water release. While the dam's risk assessment is considered moderate, with a rating of 3, the last inspection in June 2019 highlighted the need for attention to ensure the structure's safety and functionality. Overall, Perkins & Kinney serves as a vital component of the local irrigation system, but ongoing maintenance and risk management measures are essential to safeguard its long-term effectiveness and safety in the face of changing climate conditions.
