Completed in 1955, this dam stands at a height of 40 feet and spans 265 feet in length, serving primarily for recreational purposes. Despite being privately owned, the dam falls under the regulatory jurisdiction of the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes in place.
With a storage capacity of 61 acre-feet, the dam poses a high hazard potential but has been deemed to be in fair condition as of the last assessment in March 2020. The dam overlooks the TR-Gilkey Creek and is situated within the Charleston District of South Carolina. Although lacking specific spillway information, the dam is equipped for emergency response with an inspection frequency of every two years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate management can appreciate the vital role that Country Club Pond Dam plays in providing recreational opportunities while adhering to state regulatory guidelines for dam safety.
