Draayum Pond, located in Lambertton, Minnesota, is a privately owned earth dam designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1972 for flood risk reduction along Plum Creek. The dam stands at 30.4 feet high with a hydraulic height of 21.2 feet, serving a drainage area of 1.6 square miles. Its primary purpose is flood risk reduction, with a maximum storage capacity of 162 acre-feet and a normal storage of 35 acre-feet. The dam has a low hazard potential and was last inspected in March 2017, with a satisfactory condition assessment.

Managed by the MNDNR EWR, Draayum Pond's spillway is uncontrolled, and it has an unlisted/unknown foundation type with a surface area of 4 acres. While the dam's risk assessment is moderate, it currently meets guidelines and has no emergency action plan prepared. The surrounding area of Redwood County benefits from the dam's presence, providing protection against potential flooding events. With its tranquil waters and critical flood protection measures, Draayum Pond stands as a testament to effective water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
