Pokegama Lake is the name used for two lakes in the U.S. state of Minnesota.
One is located near Grand Rapids in Itasca County. The lake was made into a reservoir by the construction of the Pokegama Lake Dam on the Mississippi River in Cohasset, Minnesota.
The other Pokegama is located near Pine City in Pine County. Pokegama is a name derived from the Ojibwe language Bakegamaa meaning "the water which juts off from another water," which describes the lake's connection to the Snake River.
