Eagle Lake, located in Racine, Wisconsin, is a gravity dam completed in 1917 primarily for recreational purposes. With a height of 8 feet and a storage capacity of 3600 acre-feet, Eagle Lake covers a surface area of 515 acres and is fed by Eagle Creek. The dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, making it a relatively safe structure.

Managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Eagle Lake is regulated, inspected, and enforced by state authorities to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. Despite being uncontrolled, the spillway at Eagle Lake helps manage discharge during periods of excess water flow. The dam's condition assessment remains unrated, with the last inspection conducted in October 2017.

Eagle Lake stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management and the intersection of human infrastructure with natural ecosystems. Climate and water enthusiasts alike can appreciate the history and functional aspects of this dam, which continues to provide recreational opportunities while safeguarding the surrounding environment.
