Little Muskego is a local government-owned dam in Muskego, Wisconsin, with a primary purpose of recreation. Built in 1972, this gravity dam stands at 12 feet tall and spans 750 feet, creating a reservoir that holds 4,300 acre-feet of water from Muskego Creek. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with a maximum discharge capacity of 325 cubic feet per second.
Despite being classified as having a high hazard potential, Little Muskego's condition is deemed satisfactory as of the last assessment in September 2020. The dam's risk assessment is moderate, with a rating of 3 out of 5. While the dam is regularly inspected every two years, emergency action plans and inundation maps have not been updated recently. With its scenic location and ample storage capacity for recreational activities, Little Muskego serves as a vital water resource for the community while also posing challenges in terms of risk management and emergency preparedness.
