Sugar Loaf Dam is a dam in Lake
County of mid-Colorado, four miles west of Leadville. It has a height of 135
feet and is over 2000 feet long at its crest, impounding the Lake Fork of the Arkansas
River near its headwaters. The earthen dam was one of five reservoir dams
completed from 1965 to 1968 by the United States Bureau of Reclamation as part
of the larger water control project called the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project. The
project was authorized in 1962 by President Kennedy and was completed in 1981.
