Weed Dam, located on the Red River in Shawano, Wisconsin, is a gravity dam primarily used for hydroelectric power generation and recreation purposes. Built in 1967, the dam stands at 14 feet high with a hydraulic height of 25 feet, providing a storage capacity of 1200 acre-feet. The dam's spillway type is controlled with a width of 56 feet, and it has Tainter (radial) outlet gates.

Managed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Weed Dam has a high hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating of 1. Despite its risk level, the condition assessment is not available, highlighting the need for further evaluation and potential risk management measures. The dam has a history of inspections, with the last one conducted in September 2020, and an emergency action plan (EAP) in place since July 2019. Overall, Weed Dam serves as a critical infrastructure for water resource management in the region, requiring ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its safety and functionality for both energy production and recreational activities.
