Satterlee, located in Sauk, Wisconsin, is a privately owned earth dam constructed in 1970 by the USDA NRCS. This dam, primarily designed for flood risk reduction, also serves recreational purposes along the TR Little Baraboo river. With a hydraulic height of 21 feet and a structural height of 29 feet, Satterlee stands at 29 feet tall and spans 450 feet in length. It has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet, with a normal storage of 20 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.5 square miles.

Despite being assessed as in fair condition with low hazard potential, Satterlee is regulated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement to ensure its safety and functionality. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with a maximum discharge capacity of 80 cubic feet per second. While the risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk, ongoing risk management measures and inspections help mitigate any potential hazards. Satterlee remains a significant structure for flood risk reduction in the region and contributes to the overall water resource management in the area.
