Hult Pond Dam, also known as Hult Log Storage Pond, is a gravity dam located in Horton, Oregon, in Lane County. Managed by the Bureau of Land Management, this recreational dam sits on Lake Creek and was completed in 1950. With a structural height of 37 feet and a hydraulic height of 28 feet, this dam has a storage capacity of 540 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 380 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is for recreation, offering a surface area of 79.2 acres for water enthusiasts to enjoy.

Despite its satisfactory condition assessment, Hult Pond Dam has a high hazard potential, with a very high risk rating. The dam underwent modifications in 2002 for seismic upgrades. It features a controlled spillway and a slide (sluice gate) outlet gate. The last inspection of this dam was conducted in October 2020, with an inspection frequency of one year. While the dam meets guidelines for emergency action plans, there is no preparedness information available at this time.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Hult Pond Dam presents an intriguing case study in dam management and safety. With its scenic location in the Pacific Northwest and its high hazard potential, this gravity dam serves as a vital recreational resource while also posing risks that require careful monitoring and maintenance. As the Bureau of Land Management continues to oversee the operations and inspections of this dam, it remains a focal point for those interested in the intersection of water management, recreation, and environmental stewardship in Oregon.
