Tigerton is a private fish and wildlife pond located in Shawano, Wisconsin, along the Embarrass River. This Earth-type dam stands at 9 feet high with a hydraulic height of 4 feet and a storage capacity of 200 acre-feet. While its hazard potential is considered low, the dam is regulated and inspected by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.

Despite lacking a dam length, Tigerton boasts a maximum discharge of 1600 cubic feet per second and a normal storage capacity of 130 acre-feet. The structure, with a spillway width of 17 feet, serves primarily for fish and wildlife purposes. Although the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, regular inspections every 10 years help monitor its integrity and maintenance needs. Ensuring that emergency action plans meet guidelines and are kept up to date is crucial for effective risk management and response in case of potential incidents.

With a tranquil setting along the Embarrass River, Tigerton provides a valuable habitat for local wildlife and a serene environment for water resource and climate enthusiasts to appreciate nature's beauty. As a privately-owned structure with state oversight, Tigerton serves as an example of responsible stewardship and management of water resources, highlighting the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams for both ecological and safety reasons in the face of changing climate patterns.
