Englewood Dam was constructed as a Works Progress Administration project in 1936. It is located on Little Dry Creek approximately 9 mi (14 km) upstream from Englewood in Arapahoe County, Colorado, United States. The project serves as a flood retention dam to control of about 11 sq mi (28 km2) of the 11 sq mi (28 km2) drainage area of the Little Dry Creek basin. Storage capacity is approximately 1,485 acre ft (1,832,000 m3) at the spill way crest but the reservoir is dry most of the year.

It was purchased by the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District in 1973 who carried out improvements on it until 1975.[3] About 2.2 mi (3.5 km) west of Centennial, Colorado, the dam is located in the Willow Springs Open Space in Centennial which is part of the South Suburban Park and Recreation District.

The cache is located at our favorite trailhead. Someone placed a nice memorial bench for their loved one here and it has a great view.

We found the cache. Not much in there. Just a Penny and eraser. But don’t worry we refilled it generously!

Found after a nearby early morning event. Had to wait for a muggle to leave the area and then we moved in for the search. Looked in a few wrong places and then finally located the well hidden cache. Great spot to sit for a while.
