Mcleods Pond Dam, located in Sumter, South Carolina, was completed in 1960 and serves the primary purpose of debris control along the TR-RAFTING CREEK. This earth dam stands at a height of 9 feet and has a length of 345 feet, providing a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet. While also offering recreational opportunities, the dam is state-regulated by SC DHEC and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and safety.

Despite being categorized with a low hazard potential, Mcleods Pond Dam received an unsatisfactory condition assessment during its last inspection in April 2017. The dam has a moderate risk rating and is in need of further risk management measures to address potential issues. With its uncontrolled spillway type and limited emergency preparedness measures, stakeholders and environmental enthusiasts are urged to monitor the dam's condition and advocate for necessary improvements to mitigate risks and protect the surrounding ecosystem.

As a private-owned structure, Mcleods Pond Dam plays a crucial role in maintaining water resources and controlling debris in the area. Its significance extends beyond simple flood control, offering recreational benefits while also highlighting the importance of sustainable dam management practices in the face of changing climate patterns. Enthusiasts and stakeholders are encouraged to stay informed and engaged in the ongoing maintenance and risk assessment efforts to ensure the long-term viability of this essential water resource infrastructure.
