Elkhead Reservoir is located in northwest Colorado near the town of Craig. It was originally constructed by the Division of Wildlife on the Elkhead Creek, which is a major tributary of the Yampa River. A 205-square mile river basin drains into the reservoir. It has a capacity of 25,550 acre-feet. The dam was enlarged for two years ending in 2006. This enlargement cost $31 million and raised the height of the dam by 25 feet and of the pool by 20 feet.[1]
