Josephson Pond, located in Goodhue County, Minnesota, is a privately owned earth dam constructed in 1961 by the USDA NRCS for flood risk reduction along the TR-Belle Creek. With a dam height of 26 feet and a length of 340 feet, the pond has a storage capacity of 20 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 6 acre-feet. The uncontrolled spillway, with a width of 40 feet, can handle a maximum discharge of 275 cubic feet per second.

Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Josephson Pond has not been rated for its current condition. The pond is not regulated or inspected by state agencies and does not have an emergency action plan in place. The primary purpose of the dam is flood risk reduction, and it currently serves its function adequately. Enthusiasts interested in water resources and climate in the area may find Josephson Pond to be an intriguing site to explore and study in terms of its design, construction, and operational characteristics.
