Enl. Halleck Creek No. 3, also known as Wallace Reservoir, is a privately owned earth dam located in Albany County, Wyoming. Built in 1975 by designer L. H. Baker, this dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock watering, and a small fish pond. With a dam height of 29 feet and a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet, it plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.

Despite its low hazard potential, Enl. Halleck Creek No. 3 is currently rated as being in poor condition, as of the last inspection in August 2018. The dam has a moderate risk assessment level, indicating the need for careful monitoring and potential risk management measures in the future. Located on Halleck Creek in Torrington, this dam not only provides essential water storage but also offers recreational opportunities for the local community.

Overall, Enl. Halleck Creek No. 3 stands as a significant water management structure in Wyoming, contributing to fire protection, stock watering, and wildlife habitat. As climate change continues to impact water resources, maintaining and improving the condition of dams like this will be crucial for ensuring the sustainability of water supplies and the resilience of ecosystems in the region.
