Located in St. Francis, Minnesota, the Randy Hansen Wildlife Dam, also known as Hansen Dam, was completed in 1989 by the USDA NRCS. This private earth dam serves primarily for recreational purposes and stands at a height of 11 feet with a length of 150 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 135 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 54 acre-feet and a surface area of 20 acres. It spans over Seelye Brook-TR and is regulated by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

With a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the Randy Hansen Wildlife Dam is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates. Although it does not have associated structures, it plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area. The dam's risk assessment is moderate and it undergoes inspections every 8 years to ensure its safety and functionality. Its location within the Anoka County Wildlife Management Area makes it a valuable asset for both wildlife and climate enthusiasts interested in water resource management and conservation efforts.
