Hillside Pond Dam, located in Pond Eddy, Sullivan County, New York, is a privately owned earth dam completed in 1995 for recreational purposes. The dam stands at a height of 32 feet and spans a length of 590 feet, with a storage capacity of 129 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam is designated as not rated in terms of condition assessment, highlighting the need for further evaluation and maintenance.

Managed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC), Hillside Pond Dam is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. Despite its uncontrolled spillway type, the dam poses a manageable risk with a maximum discharge capacity of 284 cubic feet per second and a surface area of 9.1 acres. The dam's location in a secluded area with a drainage area of only 0.02 square miles contributes to its low hazard potential, making it a relatively safe and stable structure for recreational use.

As a part of the Philadelphia District of the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Hillside Pond Dam serves as a vital water resource for the surrounding community. While the dam has not been assessed for emergency action preparedness or undergone recent inspections, its primary purpose for recreation underscores the importance of ensuring its safety and functionality for both environmental conservation and public enjoyment.
