Skoyen, located in Trempealeau, Wisconsin, is a private earth dam constructed in 1974 by the USDA NRCS for fire protection, stock, and small fish pond purposes. With a dam height of 18 feet and a hydraulic height of 8 feet, Skoyen has a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet and a surface area of 3 acres, serving the local community along TR-King Creek. Despite its low hazard potential, Skoyen's condition assessment in 2017 deemed it unsatisfactory, reflecting the need for maintenance and potential upgrades to ensure its continued functionality.

Managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Skoyen is regulated and inspected regularly to meet state standards for dam safety. The dam's controlled spillway and maximum discharge of 140 cubic feet per second contribute to its risk assessment rating of "Very High (1)", highlighting the importance of proactive risk management measures. While no emergency action plan has been prepared for Skoyen, its location in a high-risk area underscores the necessity of maintaining a vigilant approach to monitoring and addressing potential hazards to safeguard the surrounding community and environment. With Congressman Ron Kind representing the district, ongoing efforts to enhance Skoyen's safety and resilience are crucial in the face of evolving climate challenges and water resource management needs.
