About Elkhead Reservoir

Elkhead Reservoir is one of the 4 reservoirs BasinMind follows in the Yampa-White-Green basin, Division 6 of Colorado's seven water divisions. BasinMind's registry lists its operator as Colorado River District / City of Craig. Its recorded capacity is 25,550 acre-feet, the third-largest of the 4 and 26% of the capacity BasinMind tracks in the division.

The nearest stream gauge BasinMind reads is Elkhead Creek above Long Gulch near Hayden, about 7 miles away in a straight line.

An acre-foot is the water that would cover one acre a foot deep, about 325,851 gallons; percent full compares storage with recorded capacity, not with what is normal for the date (cfs and acre-feet).
