Completed in 1967, this dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, providing a serene environment for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy. Standing at 27 feet high and stretching 650 feet in length, the dam holds a storage capacity of 38 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 29 acre-feet.
Despite its age, Shelby Joines Pond Dam is in fair condition, with a high hazard potential due to its location on the TR-MIDDLE TYGER RIVER. It is regulated and inspected by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) to ensure public safety. The last inspection in June 2020 deemed the dam to be structurally sound, but maintenance and potential risk management measures may be needed in the future to maintain its integrity and safety. With its picturesque surroundings and importance as a recreational spot, the dam continues to attract visitors who appreciate its beauty and function in the local ecosystem.
