Located in Wells County, North Dakota, Harvey Dam Lake is a public lake that covers about 360 acres. Being a smaller lake, any wake-boat use hinges on the local ordinance and how busy the water is.

No public access point is listed, so confirm how (and whether) you can legally launch.

Because this entry comes from public lake data rather than rider reports, treat it as a size-and-access reference, not a recommendation. Confirm the current North Dakota statewide rules and any lake-specific restrictions before riding.
