The dam is situated on the TR-PIGEON CREEK river or stream, under the jurisdiction of the Rock Island District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite being privately owned, the dam does not fall under state regulation, permitting, inspection, or enforcement. With a surface area of 10 acres and a drainage area of 130 acres, Lake Flamingo Dam provides a picturesque setting for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife observation. The dam's location in Agency, Missouri, adds to its appeal as a popular attraction for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region.
