Murray Pond Dam, also known as Lake Dogwood Dam, is a privately owned structure located in Richland, South Carolina. Completed in 1930, this earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a storage capacity of 1,310 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is flood risk reduction, although it also serves for recreational purposes.

Situated along Colonels Creek, Murray Pond Dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC). With a significant hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its current condition as of the last inspection in March 2019. Despite its age, the dam continues to provide crucial flood protection to the surrounding area while offering opportunities for recreational activities on its 148-acre surface area.

As an integral part of the Savannah District managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers, Murray Pond Dam remains a vital component in water resource management in South Carolina. Its history, design, and ongoing maintenance efforts highlight the intersection of flood control, environmental stewardship, and public safety in the region.
