Lake Ann Dam, located in Still Bluff, North Carolina, is a private earth dam built in 1952 primarily for recreational purposes. Situated on Jones Creek, the dam stands at a structural height of 12 feet with a hydraulic height of 8 feet and a length of 400 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 58 acre-feet, with normal storage levels at 48 acre-feet. Despite being privately owned, the dam is subject to state inspections to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.

Although the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, it has not been updated or inspected since February 2015. Despite this, the dam remains a popular spot for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and picnicking. In the event of an emergency, however, the status of the dam's Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and risk assessment measures are unclear, raising potential concerns for public safety and environmental protection in the area.

With the dam's location in Pender County, North Carolina, and its association with the Wilmington District of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), there may be potential for further oversight and management of the dam in the future to ensure its continued safety and functionality for both recreational and environmental purposes.
