The dam stands at a height of 26 feet and spans 800 feet in length, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 57 acre-feet. While the primary purpose of the dam is recreation, it also serves as a crucial water resource for the area, providing a surface area of 6 acres for various activities.
Despite its fair condition assessment, Lake Huntington Dam poses a high hazard potential, making regular inspections a necessity. The dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), with enforcement and permitting processes in place to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations. The last inspection took place in December 2019, with a frequency of every two years to monitor any changes in the dam's condition.
Located on the TR-Cox Creek, a tributary of the Savannah River, Lake Huntington Dam is a significant feature in the local landscape. With its recreational opportunities and water storage capacity, the dam plays a crucial role in supporting the community's needs while also requiring diligent maintenance and oversight to mitigate potential risks associated with its high hazard potential.
