Steenhoven, a privately owned recreational dam located in Taylor, Wisconsin, along the North Fork Yellow River, was completed in 1964 by the USDA NRCS. This earth-type dam stands at a height of 17.5 feet and has a hydraulic height of 8 feet, providing a storage capacity of 400 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 44 acres. While the dam's primary purpose is for recreation, it also serves as a vital water resource for the surrounding area, with a drainage area of 1.7 square miles and a maximum discharge capacity of 1396 cubic feet per second.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Steenhoven is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 104 feet. The dam is regulated and inspected by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, with enforcement and permitting responsibilities falling under their jurisdiction. The last inspection of Steenhoven was conducted in July 2013, with an inspection frequency of every 10 years. Overall, the risk assessment for this dam is moderate, indicating a need for continued monitoring and management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure for both recreational and water resource purposes.
