Easton is a dam located in Adams, Wisconsin, along Campbell Creek, with a primary purpose of recreation. Built in 1855, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 19.5 feet and has a hydraulic height of 14.6 feet, providing a storage capacity of 305 acre-feet. The dam spans 350 feet in length and has a controlled spillway with a width of 34 feet to manage maximum discharges of up to 1020 cubic feet per second.

Despite its age, Easton has been well-maintained and is in satisfactory condition, with a low hazard potential. Regular inspections have been conducted, with the last assessment in February 2016, and a low risk assessment rating of "Very High (1)" due to its critical importance. The dam has seen modifications in 1909 and 2010 to ensure its continued functionality, serving as a key recreational resource for the local community and visitors alike.

Easton remains under the jurisdiction of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WIDNR), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure compliance with safety regulations. With its historical significance and continued importance for recreation and water management, Easton stands as a testament to effective dam infrastructure and management practices in the face of evolving climate challenges.
