Pike Lake, located in Hartford, Wisconsin, is a privately-owned recreational lake regulated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The dam at Pike Lake, completed in 1870, stands at a height of 12 feet and has a gravity design, serving primarily for recreation purposes. With a normal storage capacity of 1,040 acre-feet, the lake covers a surface area of 522 acres and has a drainage area of 13 square miles.

Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Pike Lake is at a very high risk level according to the data, indicating potential challenges in risk management. The last inspection in August 2020 revealed no major concerns, with a relatively low inspection frequency of 10 years. The controlled spillway and overall structure of Pike Lake contribute to its safety and operational efficiency, with the lake being a popular destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region.
