Located in Aiken, South Carolina, the L B Williams Dam stands as a testament to both engineering prowess and the importance of water resource management. Completed in 1973, this earth dam stretches 360 feet in length and reaches a height of 18 feet, holding a maximum storage capacity of 118 acre-feet. The dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, offering a surface area of 10 acres and normal storage of 62 acre-feet for visitors to enjoy.

Despite its low hazard potential, the L B Williams Dam is currently assessed as being in poor condition, with the last inspection conducted in August 2017. Managed by a private entity, the dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), ensuring that it meets state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements. While the dam's condition may raise concerns, its historical significance and role in providing recreational opportunities make it a vital part of the local community's water infrastructure.
