Lake Ore-be-gone is a convert|140|acre|km2|sing=on artificial lake, formed by the flooding of three open-pit iron ore mines, near Gilbert, Minnesota, USA.

Since the flooding of the mining pits, the area around the lake has been subject to land reclamation, and there now exist beaches and docks. As of June 2007, however, the beaches are closed due to low water.
