Jordan Pond, located in Kellogg, Minnesota, is a privately owned earth dam constructed in 1956 by the USDA NRCS to reduce flood risks along the Zumbro River. The dam stands at a height of 30 feet and spans 450 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 18.6 acre-feet. While primarily serving the purpose of flood risk reduction, Jordan Pond is also regulated by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity.

Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, Jordan Pond has a moderate risk rating due to its location within the 0.2 square mile drainage area of the Zumbro River. The dam features uncontrolled spillways and outlets, with no associated locks for flow control. The surrounding area is under the jurisdiction of the MNDNR EWR, with enforcement and permitting responsibilities falling under state agencies. Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate Jordan Pond as a crucial infrastructure that plays a vital role in managing flood risks and protecting the local ecosystem along the Zumbro River.
