Tin horn, French drain, pond,???

I leveled it a bit which has helped keep most of it from the gate posts.

I may be wrong but from the photos it looks like the road builder created a dam. He should have put in a culvert under the road at that point.
Perhaps it can drain into a road ditch and get further from the gate and eventually go to a creek or ditch further down the road. If not, then the only option is to cut the road and place a culvert there so it can drain to the lower side (to the left in photo)

I agree with everything Gary said. You need a culvert to get the water to the other side of the road. It's incomprehensible that somebody would spend the money to pave a road, but not spend another hundred bucks to put a culvert under it. Is there a chance that there is a culvert there, but it's plugged up and grass has grown over it? I would look real hard for an existing pipe before I tore up that pavement.

Yeah that's what I was thinking and fearing. They put one in closer to the house but that's only one for a 1/4 mile drive. Still befuddles me that they put the road at the bottom of the pasture.

What about brining in enough dirt to level off with the road? Would the rain then runoff over the road?

Is there a ditch along the perpendicular road (at the top of the first pic) you can drain it to with a tile?

Yes that's a county and have a ditch with cement runners. A tile?
