This earth dam, completed in 1960, stands at a height of 40 feet and stretches 470 feet in length, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 5,088 acre-feet. The dam is situated on TR-Kelsey Creek and is owned by the state, with regulatory oversight from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.
Despite its significant hazard potential, the dam at Croft State Park Lake is currently in poor condition based on a recent assessment in March 2021. With a regular inspection frequency of three years, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are unclear. However, the structure's historical significance as a recreational resource for the community underscores the importance of ensuring its safety and maintenance for both water resource management and climate resilience in the region.
