Como Dam

The Como Dam is a small dam located near Como, Wyoming. It impounds the North Fork of the Little Snake River, forming a reservoir known as Como Lake. The primary purpose of the dam is irrigation, providing water for agricultural activities in the surrounding area. The dam is an earthfill structure, and its construction was completed in the early 20th century. Como Lake also provides recreational opportunities, including fishing and boating, although it is a relatively small and shallow reservoir. The dam and reservoir are managed by local irrigation districts or water resource agencies to ensure the reliable delivery of water to downstream users. Historical records suggest that the dam has been crucial for the agricultural development of the region.
