Building a dam?

Have a small spring on the bottom of the property.
Always has a little water flow, even through the drought a couple years ago.
Thinking of scraping out a little hole and making a little dam.
By little, I mean maybe 2 - 3 feet deep hole, and about the same height dam.
Pond would be roughly 100' diameter.

Thinking maybe the top foot of the dam, about 10' long, would be gravel with drain pipes installed to keep the water level from washing over the dam and eroding it.

Bad idea?
Any better ones?
