Jordan, also known as Mcgreer's Mill, is a gravity dam located in Park Ridge, Wisconsin, along the Big Plover River. Completed in 1850, this dam serves a primary purpose of recreation and has a storage capacity of 470 acre-feet. With a hydraulic height of 13 feet and a structural height of 17 feet, Jordan spans 150 feet in length and covers a surface area of 83 acres within a drainage area of 148 square miles.

Despite its historical significance, Jordan is currently rated as having poor condition and a low hazard potential. The last inspection in May 2017 revealed a need for maintenance and repairs to ensure the dam's safety and functionality. The risk assessment for Jordan is very high, indicating the importance of implementing effective risk management measures to mitigate potential dangers associated with the dam.

As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to monitor and address the issues surrounding Jordan to protect both the environment and the community it serves. By investing in the necessary upgrades and maintenance, stakeholders can ensure the long-term sustainability and safety of this historic structure while preserving its recreational value for future generations.
