Built in 1920, this earth dam stretches 1,700 feet in length and reaches a height of 33 feet, creating a serene 250-acre surface area known for its fishing, boating, and wildlife viewing opportunities. The dam's primary purpose is recreation, offering visitors a peaceful escape surrounded by the natural splendor of Horse Creek.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, Langley Pond Dam maintains a high hazard potential due to its close proximity to populated areas. While its condition assessment remains unrated as of December 2018, regular inspections ensure the safety of the surrounding communities. With a maximum storage capacity of 1,800 acre-feet and a normal storage of 1,600 acre-feet, the dam plays a vital role in water resource management and flood control, serving as both a recreational haven and a crucial infrastructure component in the region. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Langley Pond Dam represents a harmonious blend of natural beauty and engineered resilience.
