The Enlargement of The Shallow is a private fish and wildlife pond located in Crook, Wyoming, just 2 miles from the I-90 highway. Built in 2008, this earth dam stands at a height of 12.5 feet and has a storage capacity of 183 acre-feet, with a surface area of 35.48 acres. The primary purpose of this dam is to provide habitat for fish and wildlife, specifically in the Little Pine Ridge Creek.

Managed by the SEO regulatory agency in Wyoming, the Enlargement of The Shallow has a low hazard potential and is in fair condition as of its last inspection in May 2018. With a moderate risk assessment level, this dam is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway measuring 100 feet in width and a valve outlet gate. The dam's design and construction were overseen by designer Ralph Goodsen, and it is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.

Overall, the Enlargement of The Shallow serves as an important resource for supporting local fish and wildlife populations in Wyoming. Its strategic location near the I-90 highway and the Little Pine Ridge Creek makes it a valuable asset for conservation efforts and environmental protection in the region. The careful management and maintenance of this dam demonstrate a commitment to sustainable water resource management and climate resilience in the area.
