Rock Dam Lake is a cool lake found in Clark County, Wisconsin. It's about 118-acre (0.48 km2) big. That's like 90 football fields! The lake isn't very deep. The deepest spot is only 10 feet down. This is about as tall as a basketball hoop. The water looks a bit reddish-blue. This is because it has a lot of iron in it.
