Arcadia Woods Lake Dam, located in Richland, South Carolina, was completed in 1937 for the primary purpose of recreation. This private dam stands at a height of 22 feet and spans a length of 400 feet, creating a lake with a storage capacity of 45.6 acre-feet. The dam is classified as an earth dam with a stone core and soil foundation, designed to withstand the flow of Jackson Creek.

Despite its picturesque setting and recreational value, Arcadia Woods Lake Dam poses a high hazard potential and has been assessed as unsatisfactory in condition as of June 2018. The dam is under the jurisdiction of the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) and undergoes regular inspections. With its critical role in water resource management and potential risks associated with its condition, efforts to ensure the safety and integrity of Arcadia Woods Lake Dam are paramount for the surrounding community and environment.
