Logan is pleased to welcome you to the shores of Ute Lake.
The idea for this project was conceived by the local people
who foresaw the time when Ute Lake would be essential for
the growth and welfare of Logan, Quay County and New Mexico.
As a result of their efforts, the project became a reality.
Ute Dam, completed in 1963, is owned and operated by the
NM Interstate Stream Commission (NMISC).
Ute Dam is the overall largest Labyrinth Weir Spillway facility
in the free world and the largest built by the U.S. Bureau
of Reclamation with a design discharge capacity of 550,000
cubic feet per second.
