Wolf Weinhold Dam, located in Tuxedo, North Carolina, is a privately owned structure primarily designed for recreation on Hampy Creek. Completed in 1983, this Earth-type dam stands at a structural height of 37 feet with a hydraulic height of 29 feet, providing a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet. The dam's hazard potential is classified as high, but its condition assessment as of March 2017 was deemed satisfactory.
Managed by the North Carolina Dam Safety Program and regulated by NCDEQ, DEMLR, the dam undergoes inspections every two years to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations. With a maximum discharge capacity of 824 cubic feet per second, Wolf Weinhold Dam serves as both a recreational asset and a vital water resource in Henderson County. Its location within the Nashville District and its association with the USACE demonstrate its significance in the region's water management infrastructure.
