Meadow Valley Spillway 6, located in Juneau, Wisconsin, is a state-regulated dam with a primary purpose of recreation. Completed in 1938, this earth dam stands at a height of 8 feet and spans a length of 23,000 feet, creating a storage capacity of 2,300 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the Little Yellow Drainage Ditch and is under the jurisdiction of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

Although assessed as having a low hazard potential, Meadow Valley Spillway 6 is categorized as having a very high risk due to its age and lack of recent condition assessment. The dam features a controlled spillway with a width that is not specified, and has not been modified since 1939. While currently deemed to be in "Not Rated" condition, Meadow Valley Spillway 6 has not been inspected since September 2011, with an inspection frequency of 10 years, raising concerns about its safety and maintenance.

With its rich history and important role in the local water resource management, Meadow Valley Spillway 6 serves as a critical infrastructure for recreational activities while also posing potential risks that require careful monitoring and management to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the environment.
