Moss Lake Dam, located in Calhoun, South Carolina, is a privately-owned structure built in 1938 for recreational purposes. The dam, primarily made of earth with stone core, stands at a height of 15 feet and spans 470 feet in length, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 299 acre-feet. The dam's reservoir covers a surface area of 35 acres and is fed by Flea Bite Creek.

Despite its low hazard potential, Moss Lake Dam's condition has been assessed as poor, with the last inspection in January 2019 revealing the need for maintenance and improvements. The dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), with state oversight extending to permitting, inspections, and enforcement. While the dam's emergency action plan status and risk assessment remain unclear, there is potential for enhanced risk management measures to ensure the safety and functionality of this recreational water resource in the face of climate-related challenges.
