King's Mill, located in Faribault, Minnesota, is a historic gravity dam on the Cannon River built in 1862 for recreational purposes. The dam stands at a height of 17 feet with a hydraulic height of 8.44 feet, and a length of 400 feet. It has a maximum storage capacity of 25,500 acre-feet and serves as a popular spot for outdoor activities in the area.

Managed by the local government and regulated by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, King's Mill has a high hazard potential due to its age and condition. Despite being rated as satisfactory during its last assessment in 2017, the dam poses a risk of failure in the event of a significant flood. Emergency action plans are in place, but further risk management measures may be necessary to ensure the safety of nearby residents and the environment.

With its rich history and importance for recreation, King's Mill continues to attract water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking to explore the beauty of the Cannon River. As efforts are made to monitor and maintain the dam's structural integrity, it remains a focal point for both enjoyment and concern in the local community.
