Meinhardt, also known as Woodman Center, is a privately owned dam located in Richland, Wisconsin, along the TR-Hawkins Creek. Built in 1968 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at 25 feet tall and spans 720 feet in length. With a primary purpose of recreation, Meinhardt serves to reduce flood risks while providing a recreational space for locals and visitors alike. The dam has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 20 acre-feet.

The Meinhardt dam has a high hazard potential due to its location and structural characteristics, but it has been assessed as being in satisfactory condition as of November 2020. The dam is state regulated, with inspections conducted regularly by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Despite its moderate risk rating, Meinhardt remains an important structure for water resource management in the area, with a maximum discharge capacity of 159 cubic feet per second. With its uncontrolled spillway and a history of maintaining safety standards, Meinhardt continues to play a crucial role in the local ecosystem and community.
