Gooseville is a private dam located in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, along the North Branch Milwaukee River. Built in 1855 for recreational purposes, this gravity dam stands at 9 feet tall and spans 500 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 170 acre-feet. Despite its age, Gooseville has undergone modifications in 1974 to enhance its functionality. The dam has a controlled spillway with a width of 36 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 1325 cubic feet per second.

Although Gooseville is categorized as having low hazard potential, it is considered to have a very high risk due to its condition assessment being labeled as "Not Rated." The last inspection date was in 1989, with an inspection frequency of every 10 years. The dam is regulated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WIDNR) and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement. With its proximity to the North Branch Milwaukee River, Gooseville serves as a vital water resource for the surrounding community, offering recreational benefits while also posing a potential risk that requires ongoing monitoring and management.
