Dandy Creek 6, also known as Meadow Valley Work Unit #14, is a federal-owned irrigation structure located in Monroe County, Wisconsin. Completed in 1935, this gravity dam has a height of 10 feet and a length of 56 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 1400 acre-feet. The dam serves multiple purposes including irrigation, recreation, and water supply for the surrounding area.

With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, Dandy Creek 6 is not currently rated for its condition assessment. Despite not being inspected recently, the dam is designed to handle a maximum discharge of 585 cubic feet per second and has a controlled spillway to manage excess water flow. While the emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not specified, the dam is in a state-jurisdictional area with permitting and enforcement in place.

Water resource enthusiasts can appreciate the historical significance and engineering feat of Dandy Creek 6, which continues to serve its primary purpose of irrigation while also providing recreational opportunities and water supply benefits. The location on the Hart Lateral stream within the St. Paul District adds to the unique character of this structure, which stands as a testament to the importance of water management in the region.
