Messers Pond, located in Columbia, South Carolina, is a federal water resource managed by the US Army for recreational purposes. Built in 1940, this earth dam structure stands at 15 feet high and spans 442 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 341 acre-feet, the pond covers a surface area of 47 acres and is fed by Colonels Creek.

While Messers Pond has a low hazard potential, its condition assessment is currently not available. Regular inspections are conducted every 4 years, with the last inspection in March 2021. The emergency action plan for the dam was last revised in August 2006, and the risk assessment categorizes the pond as having a very high risk level. Despite these challenges, Messers Pond remains a valuable recreational resource in the area, offering opportunities for outdoor activities and water-based recreation for enthusiasts and visitors alike.
