Lake Altoona (Wisconsin)

Lake Altoona, is a man-made lake in Eau Claire County, Wisconsin, United States, bordering the city of Altoona, Wisconsin, and to the east of Eau Claire.

(The "2WP340" refers to the permit number of the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin authorizing the dam.) The dam is owned and operated by Eau Claire County for recreation and water conservation. No hydroelectric power is generated.

The lake has a surface area of 840 a, and is adjacent to Lake Altoona County Park with various recreational facilities. Altoona Lake is a 720 acre lake located in Eau Claire County. It has a maximum depth of 25 feet.
