Completed in 1959, this earth dam stands at a height of 36 feet and stretches 300 feet in length, with a primary purpose of recreation. The dam holds a maximum storage capacity of 33 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 2 acres, providing a picturesque setting for outdoor enthusiasts.
Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Wabac Pond Dam is under state regulation and inspection by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC). The dam's spillway type is listed as uncontrolled, with no outlet gates or associated structures. The last inspection, conducted in May 2017, revealed a moderate risk level of 3, prompting the need for ongoing risk management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the dam.
Situated on TR-Gap Creek and managed by a private entity, Wabac Pond Dam offers a tranquil recreational environment for visitors to enjoy. With its scenic backdrop and historical significance dating back over six decades, the dam serves as a reminder of the importance of water resource management and climate resilience in safeguarding our natural landscapes for future generations to cherish and protect.
