Brown is a privately owned dam located in Burlington, Wisconsin, along an unnamed tributary to the White River. The dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, including fish and wildlife pond activities. With a height of 7.2 feet and a hydraulic height of 4.9 feet, Brown has a low hazard potential and is considered to have moderate risk, scoring a 3 on the risk assessment scale.

This stone core type dam has a storage capacity of 75.5 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 62 acre-feet and a surface area of 10 acres. Although the dam is classified as "not rated" in terms of its condition assessment, it is inspected every 10 years to ensure its structural integrity. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and has a maximum discharge capacity of 4.5 cubic feet per second, providing important flood control measures for the surrounding area.

Located in the Chicago District, Brown's design and construction details are not listed, but it falls under the jurisdiction of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The dam's risk management measures, emergency action plan, and inundation maps are not readily available, suggesting that further assessment and preparedness efforts may be needed to mitigate potential risks associated with this structure.
