Krause, located in Kewaunee, Wisconsin, is a privately owned dam constructed in 1973 by the USDA NRCS for fire protection, stock, and small fish pond purposes on the TR AHNAPEE river or stream. This earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet with a hydraulic height of 12 feet and a length of 655 feet, providing a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet and a surface area of 9 acres. Despite its fair condition assessment in 2017, Krause poses a significant hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment level, prompting a three-year inspection frequency.

Managed by the WIDNR and located in Algoma, Krause is regulated by the state of Wisconsin with permitting, inspection, and enforcement mechanisms in place. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with a maximum discharge capacity of 75 cubic feet per second. The surrounding area has a drainage area of 0.4 square miles, and the dam serves as a recreational spot in addition to its primary functions. With a notable history of modifications, Krause remains an important structure for water resource management in the region, emphasizing the need for continued monitoring and risk management measures.
