Bull Lake Dam (National ID # WY01378) is a dam in Fremont County, Wyoming. The earthen dam was constructed between 1936 and 1938 by the United States Bureau of Reclamation with a height of 81 feet.〔http://www.usbr.gov/projects/Project.jsp?proj_Name=Riverton%20Unit〕 It impounds Bull Lake Creek for irrigation storage and flood control, as part of the Riverton Unit of the extensive, multi-state Pick–Sloan Missouri Basin Program. The dam is owned by the Bureau and is operated by the local Midvale Irrigation District.〔http://www.midvaleirrigation.net/ProjectFeatures.aspx〕 The reservoir it creates, Bull Lake Reservoir (so named because the reservoir expanded an existing smaller natural lake) has a capacity of 151,737 acre-feet. Recreation includes fishing.〔http://findlakes.com/bull_lake_1_wyoming_vacation.htm〕 Bull Lake gave its name to Bull Lake glaciation, the name of a glacial period in North America that is part of the Quaternary Ice Age. ==See also== * List of largest reservoirs of Wyoming 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bull Lake Dam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
