Collums Millpond Dam, located in Aiken, South Carolina, was completed in 1940 and serves as a recreational site for water enthusiasts. This private Earth dam stands at a height of 14 feet and spans 490 feet in length, holding a storage capacity of 154 acre-feet. The dam is situated on Giddy Swamp Creek and is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), with regular inspections conducted to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment in 2017 reported it as poor, indicating a need for maintenance and potential improvements to enhance its safety and longevity. The dam's associated structures and spillway details remain undisclosed, but its primary purpose for recreation continues to attract visitors seeking outdoor activities in the serene surroundings of Collums Millpond Dam. With the Savannah District of the US Army Corps of Engineers not involved in its management, the responsibility falls upon the private owner to uphold the dam's integrity and safety for both recreational users and the surrounding environment.
