Pigeon Lake, located in Itasca County, Minnesota, is a serene body of water created by the Pigeon Flowage. This man-made lake was formed in 1937 with the construction of a gravity dam that stands at a height of 9 feet and spans 27 feet in length. The dam serves a primary purpose of "Other" and has a low hazard potential, with a satisfactory condition assessment as of May 2009.

Managed by the St. Paul District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Pigeon Lake offers a peaceful retreat for water resource and climate enthusiasts. With a normal storage capacity of 50 acre-feet and a drainage area fed by the Pigeon Flowage, this lake provides a vital habitat for local wildlife and a recreational haven for visitors. Despite not being state-regulated or permitted, the dam at Pigeon Lake continues to operate efficiently with no major concerns reported during inspections.

Surrounded by the natural beauty of Minnesota, Pigeon Lake stands as a testament to sustainable water resource management and engineering ingenuity. As a federally-owned and maintained site, the lake remains a picturesque destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature while appreciating the careful balance of human intervention and environmental stewardship.
