Little Hill Pond, located in Hill City, Minnesota, is a state-regulated water resource managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Built in 1978, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 8 feet and serves as a fish and wildlife pond with a storage capacity of 1200 acre-feet. The pond covers an area of 40 acres and has a drainage area of 5.4 square miles, with a controlled spillway for managing water discharge.

Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Little Hill Pond poses a very high risk due to its location near the Little Hill River. The dam undergoes inspections every 8 years, with the most recent assessment conducted in August 2019. The primary purpose of the dam is to support fish and wildlife habitats, making it an essential resource for conservation efforts in the area. With its picturesque setting and importance for biodiversity, Little Hill Pond is a valuable asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts in Aitkin County.
