Hudell Pond, located in Wabasha, Minnesota, is a private earth dam constructed in 1957 by the USDA NRCS for flood risk reduction along the Middle Creek-TR river or stream. The dam stands at a height of 26 feet with a structural height of 30 feet and a length of 250 feet. It serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction and has a normal storage capacity of 2 acre-feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 56 acre-feet.

Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Hudell Pond is regulated by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources - Ecological Water Resources, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement procedures in place. The dam has not been modified in recent years and is equipped with uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates. While the risk assessment classifies the dam as moderate, with a DSAC assigned date yet to be determined, no specific risk management measures have been outlined.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Hudell Pond to be an intriguing structure with its unique design and purpose in mitigating flood risks in the area. The dam's location in a private setting adds to its allure, making it a fascinating case study for those interested in the intersection of infrastructure, environmental protection, and water management practices.
