Spink Wpa, also known as Jones Lake, is a federally-owned Fish and Wildlife Pond located in Grant County, Minnesota. Built in 1988 by DUCKS UNLIMITED, this Earth dam stands at a height of 9 feet with a structural height of 13 feet and a length of 140 feet. With a storage capacity of 1500 acre-feet and a surface area of 200 acres, this pond serves as a vital habitat for various wildlife species in the area.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the Spink Wpa is considered to have a very high risk due to its proximity to the MUSTINKA RIVER-TR. While the dam has not been rated for its condition, it undergoes inspection every 8 years. Although it does not currently have an Emergency Action Plan in place, the risk management measures for this structure are not specified. With its importance in supporting fish and wildlife populations in the region, ensuring the safety and maintenance of Spink Wpa is crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
