Pot Flowage, also known as Langlade County Flowage, is a state-owned water resource located in Glandon, Langlade County, Wisconsin. Managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WIDNR), this earth dam structure was completed in 1974 for the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR Trappe River. With a dam height of 8 feet and a storage capacity of 180 acre-feet, Pot Flowage covers an area of 10 acres and serves as a recreational spot in addition to its flood control functions.
Despite being classified as having low hazard potential, Pot Flowage is considered to have a very high risk level due to its condition assessment of 'Fair'. The dam's last inspection in May 2020 revealed this rating, prompting the need for regular maintenance and risk management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure. With a controlled spillway type and a maximum discharge of 38 cubic feet per second, Pot Flowage plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the area while offering recreational opportunities for water and climate enthusiasts to enjoy.
