Joe Phillips Pond Dam is a historic earth dam located in Lexington, South Carolina, completed in 1910 with a primary purpose of recreation. The dam stands at a height of 11 feet and stretches 600 feet in length, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 55 acre-feet. The dam overlooks Third Creek and offers a serene setting for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife observation.

Although the dam has a low hazard potential, its condition was assessed as unsatisfactory during the last inspection in September 2016. Despite being privately owned, the dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. While the dam has not undergone any modifications in recent years, it remains a picturesque landmark in the area, attracting visitors who appreciate its historical significance and recreational opportunities.
