About Robinson Dam

The primary purpose of Robinson Dam is fire protection, stock, or small fish pond. The dam maintains a small impoundment used for fire suppression, livestock watering, or as a fish pond. The dam is owned by Steve Robinson (private). It impounds the Tr-little Fox River near Wayland.

The dam stands 32 feet tall and stretches 403 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 2 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 30 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 130 square miles. Completed in 2002, the structure is relatively new.

This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life. The most recent inspection on record was 09/01/2002. That was over 24 years ago.
