The concrete thin-arch dam was originally completed in 1915 by the United States Bureau of Reclamation at a height of 62 feet and 404 feet long at its crest. Raised another 21 feet feet in 1918 to its present height of 83 feet feet, it was partially rebuilt in 1964 then found structurally unsafe in 1990, when it was drained to less than 5% of its design capacity. The dam was reconstructed and refilled by popular demand.
