Bennet Group Pond, located in Houston County, Minnesota, is a private pond designed by the USDA NRCS for flood risk reduction along the Oxbow Creek. Completed in 1972, this earth dam stands at 26 feet high and has a storage capacity of 25.6 acre-feet, primarily serving the purpose of flood risk reduction. The pond has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment.

Managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Bennet Group Pond is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state agencies to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite its moderate risk level, the pond has not been designated with an Emergency Action Plan or inundation maps. With its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, Bennet Group Pond serves as a vital infrastructure for managing water resources and mitigating flood risks in the region, making it a key asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and study.
