Lodge Lake Dam, located in Elk County, Kansas, was completed in 2011 and serves primarily for recreational purposes, including fish and wildlife pond activities. This earth dam, with a height of 21.6 feet and a length of 2463 feet, has a storage capacity of 102.59 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 8.73 acres. The dam is situated on Indian Creek-TR and is under the jurisdiction of a private owner.

Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential, Lodge Lake Dam is considered to have a moderate risk level. The dam's condition assessment is marked as "Not Rated", and it has not undergone inspection since July 2006. With no outlet gates and an uncontrolled spillway type, the dam presents some challenges in terms of risk management and emergency preparedness. However, the dam remains an important feature for the local community's recreational activities.

Although Lodge Lake Dam is not regulated by the state and does not have a designated state agency overseeing its operations, it remains a significant structure in the area. With its completion in 2011, the dam has provided recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams like Lodge Lake Dam becomes increasingly crucial for ensuring the safety and sustainability of water sources in the region.
