Saw Creek Club, located in Pike, Pennsylvania, is a private recreation area with a dam constructed in 1919 on Saw Creek. The dam, primarily designed for recreational purposes, is an earth structure with a height of 20 feet and a length of 500 feet, providing a storage capacity of 590 acre-feet. Despite its age, the dam is in poor condition and has a high hazard potential, making regular inspections crucial to ensure public safety.

Managed by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Saw Creek Club is regulated and permitted by the state, with inspections and enforcement measures in place. The dam's spillway, consisting of an uncontrolled design with a width of 231 feet, poses a moderate risk (Rank 3) of failure. While the dam's drainage area is relatively small at 16.4 square miles, it is essential to monitor the structure's integrity and implement risk management measures to mitigate potential hazards and safeguard the surrounding community from flooding events.

With its historical significance and recreational value, Saw Creek Club serves as a vital asset in Porter Township. However, the dam's deteriorating condition underscores the importance of proactive maintenance and risk assessment to ensure the long-term safety and sustainability of this water resource for future generations of water and climate enthusiasts.
