Constructed in 1960 by the NRCS, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a storage capacity of 110 acre-feet. The primary purpose of Brekke Pond is irrigation, serving the surrounding agricultural lands in Polk County.

Situated along the Red River-TR, Brekke Pond plays a crucial role in providing water resources for the local community, particularly during dry periods.
