About Stangler Wetland
The primary purpose of Stangler Wetland is flood risk reduction. The dam is designed to control downstream flooding by temporarily storing excess water during storms and releasing it at a controlled rate. The dam is owned by Stangler, Randy (private). It impounds the Cannon River-os near Lonsdale.
The dam stands 17 feet tall and stretches 230 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 13 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 140 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1 square miles. Completed in 2001, the structure is relatively new.

Its condition is rated fair — the dam has minor deficiencies that are being addressed or do not pose an immediate safety threat. The most recent inspection on record was 11/07/2018.
