Bignon Pond Dam, located in Lexington, South Carolina, is a private dam primarily used for recreation on Black Creek. Completed in 1972, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and spans 1200 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 1100 acre-feet, the dam offers a serene surface area of 100 acres for visitors to enjoy various water activities.

Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment in 2017 revealed poor structural integrity, prompting the need for regular inspections every 5 years. Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, the dam is also subject to state regulations, permitting, inspections, and enforcement to ensure public safety. While the risk management measures and emergency action plans for the dam are currently unspecified, efforts to address the poor condition of the structure may be underway to maintain its functionality for recreational purposes.
