Muddy Guard No. 2 North Dam, located in Arvada, Wyoming, was completed in 1976 and serves primarily for irrigation purposes in the area. The dam stands at a structural height of 102 feet and has a hydraulic height of 97 feet, with a length of 1260 feet. With a significant hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the dam is inspected every five years to ensure its safety and functionality.

Situated on Erosion Draw & Guard Draw, the Muddy Guard No. 2 North Dam holds a storage capacity of 1934 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 51 acres. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway type with a width of 12 feet and is constructed mainly of earth and stone materials. Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, the dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the State of Wyoming to meet safety standards and prevent potential disasters.

Owned privately, the Muddy Guard No. 2 North Dam plays a crucial role in supporting the local irrigation needs and providing a fish and wildlife pond. With Liz Cheney as the Congressional Representative for the area, the dam's presence ensures water resource management and climate resilience in Johnson County, Wyoming.
