The Bureau of Land Management has received an Ouray Park Irrigation Company right of way request for about 18 acres of public land to support a new Cottonwood Dam. Located five miles north of Gusher, the dam would cover around 150 acres and store water for irrigation while stabilizing Pelican Lake levels. Ouray Park seeks a fish conservation pool with Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and eventual stocking. Water would flow from Bullock Draw into an existing Pelican Lake canal system, with construction slated to begin this fall.
