The dam, with a structural height of 13.5 feet, serves as a tranquil spot for water enthusiasts to enjoy the surrounding area. However, despite its recreational purpose, the dam is classified as having a high hazard potential and poor condition, as assessed in January 2015.
Owned by a private entity, Crimmins Dam falls under the jurisdiction of the state regulatory agencies, including NCDEQ and DEMLR's Dam Safety Program. Inspected every two years, the dam is closely monitored for any safety concerns. While it provides some storage capacity and contributes to the scenic beauty of the area, its poor condition and high hazard potential highlight the need for regular maintenance and potential risk management measures to ensure the safety of those who enjoy its recreational offerings.
