Trump Lake, located in Jackson, Wisconsin, is a state-regulated water resource with a gravity dam completed in 1969. The dam stands at a height of 33 feet and has a storage capacity of 550 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 320 acre-feet. The lake covers a surface area of 38 acres and is fed by the TR-TRUMP COULEE CREEK. With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, Trump Lake serves a primary purpose of "Other" and is inspected regularly by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

Despite its functional design, Trump Lake has been assessed as being in poor condition as of 2016, prompting concerns about its long-term viability. The risk assessment for the dam indicates a very high risk level, warranting careful monitoring and potential risk management measures in the future. The lake's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures remain unclear, raising questions about the preparedness for any potential emergencies or disasters that may arise in relation to the dam.

As a crucial water resource in the region, Trump Lake's condition and risk level highlight the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and sustainability of its operations. With a designated state regulatory agency overseeing its permitting, inspection, and enforcement, Trump Lake represents a key site for water resource and climate enthusiasts to follow closely to track its evolving condition and management practices.
