Lehmann Pond, also known as Gary Lehman F Area, is a privately owned water resource located in Rochert, Becker County, Minnesota. Built in 1968 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam structure serves a primary purpose that is categorized as 'Other'. The pond has a height of 13 feet and a length of 400 feet, with a storage capacity of 250 acre-feet and a drainage area of 6 square miles. The Otter Tail River feeds into the pond, which has a low hazard potential and is deemed to be in satisfactory condition as of its last assessment in 2009.

Despite its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, Lehmann Pond poses a moderate risk factor of 3, according to a risk assessment. The structure is inspected every 8 years, with the last assessment taking place in August 2018. While the pond does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, it meets regulatory guidelines set by the state of Minnesota, as it is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. With its peaceful surroundings and important role in water resource management, Lehmann Pond is a significant landmark for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore and appreciate in the pristine wilderness of Minnesota.
