Johnson Springs is a federal-owned water resource located in Bayfield, Wisconsin, managed by the USDA Forest Service. The primary purpose of Johnson Springs is for recreation, with additional uses including fish and wildlife pond management. The earth dam, completed in 1969, stands at a height of 11 feet and has a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet.

Despite its low hazard potential, Johnson Springs presents a moderate risk level, with a spillway width of 6 feet and a maximum discharge of 50 cubic feet per second. The dam has not been inspected since August 2012, with a scheduled inspection frequency of 10 years. While its condition assessment is currently "Not Rated," the risk management measures and emergency action plan status remain unclear. Water and climate enthusiasts interested in the conservation and management of water resources may find Johnson Springs to be a fascinating case study in recreational dam infrastructure.
