Anderson Millpond Dam, located in Aiken, South Carolina, is a privately-owned earth dam built in 1910 for recreational purposes along the Hollow Creek. Standing at a height of 15 feet and stretching 460 feet in length, the dam provides a storage capacity of 95 acre-feet with a normal storage level of 67 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is currently in poor condition as of the last inspection in August 2017.
Managed by South Carolina DHEC, the dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state agency to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. Although it lacks certain features such as spillways and outlet gates, the dam's primary purpose of recreation makes it a popular spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts. The dam's location, surrounded by a surface area of 14 acres, offers a tranquil setting for outdoor activities, attracting visitors to enjoy the scenic views and water-based recreation opportunities.
With Congressman Joe Wilson representing the area, Anderson Millpond Dam serves as a vital structure in the community, providing not only recreational benefits but also contributing to the local economy and environment. Despite its current condition assessment of poor, efforts to improve and maintain the dam's safety are ongoing to ensure the well-being of the surrounding area and its inhabitants.
