Located in Crawford, Wisconsin, Lourie is a privately owned dam designed by the USDA NRCS with a primary purpose of fire protection, stock, or small fish pond usage. Completed in 1973, this earth dam stands at 29 feet in height and spans 280 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 35 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.3 square miles. The dam serves multiple purposes, including fire protection, stock pond maintenance, and flood risk reduction along the TR-Kickapoo River.

With a low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, Lourie is regulated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WIDNR) and undergoes regular inspections, with the last one conducted in October 2016. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, and it has a maximum discharge capacity of 80 cubic feet per second. Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, Lourie meets safety guidelines and is equipped to handle emergencies effectively. This essential structure plays an important role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
