Completed in 1958, this Earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and spans 265 feet in length, with a primary purpose of serving as a recreational area. The dam's storage capacity of 74 acre-feet provides ample space for recreational activities such as fishing and boating on the 7-acre surface area of Timmons Pond.
Despite its low hazard potential, Timmons Pond Dam is currently assessed to be in poor condition as of the last inspection in May 2017. The dam is considered to have moderate risk, warranting attention to ensure its continued safety and functionality. Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC), the dam is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement to maintain its integrity and reduce potential risks. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find Timmons Pond Dam an intriguing site with its historical significance and recreational opportunities amidst the South Saluda River.
