As a privately owned structure on the Little River, the dam stands at 31.3 feet tall with a maximum storage capacity of 352.5 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is for recreation, providing a serene environment for outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife observation.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Crabapple Lake Dam has not been rated for its overall condition. With an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam remains a safe and enjoyable destination for visitors seeking a peaceful escape in Cherokee County. Regular inspections ensure the dam's structural integrity, with the last assessment conducted in April 2019. As an integral part of the local ecosystem, Crabapple Lake Dam continues to play a significant role in water management and conservation efforts in the region.
