Sugar Camp is a hydroelectric dam located in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, on the picturesque Sugar Camp Creek. Built in 1908, the dam serves the primary purposes of flood risk reduction and hydroelectric power generation. Standing at 9.5 feet tall with a length of 292 feet, Sugar Camp has a storage capacity of 24,793 acre-feet and a maximum discharge rate of 398 cubic feet per second.

Managed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Sugar Camp has a controlled spillway with a width of 8 feet and a low hazard potential. Despite its age, the dam's risk assessment indicates a very high risk level, requiring careful monitoring and management measures. The dam's emergency action plan was last revised in 2018, ensuring readiness in case of unforeseen events. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Sugar Camp offers a fascinating glimpse into the intersection of historic infrastructure and sustainable energy production.
