Kramer Pond, also known as Kramer's Folly, is a private water resource located in Todd County, Minnesota. Managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, this earth dam structure serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond. With a dam height of 20 feet and a storage capacity of 275 acre-feet, this pond covers a surface area of 29 acres and drains a 1.8 square mile watershed.
Despite its relatively small size, Kramer Pond poses a significant hazard potential due to its unsatisfactory condition assessment. The last inspection in August 1995 revealed maintenance issues that could potentially impact the safety of the structure. The pond's location along the Wing River-TR stream highlights its importance in the local ecosystem and water management system.
As climate change continues to impact water resources, monitoring and maintaining structures like Kramer Pond become crucial for ensuring water security and environmental sustainability. With its proximity to Motley and the oversight of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, this private pond serves as a vital asset for fire protection, stock, and recreational activities, making it a key area of interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
