Hunter Pond Dam, also known as Sandhill St Forest Dam 1, is a state-owned structure located in Chesterfield, South Carolina, along the TR-JUNIPER CREEK. Built in 1968 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at 15 feet high and spans 700 feet in length, serving primarily for recreational purposes with a storage capacity of 83 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) and has a low hazard potential, with a moderate risk assessment rating.

Despite its modest size and recreational focus, Hunter Pond Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management for the local community. The dam's uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates are designed to handle the normal storage capacity of 65 acre-feet, providing flood protection and maintaining water levels for recreational activities. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, regular inspections are conducted every five years to ensure its safety and functionality. With its strategic location and importance for water storage and recreation, Hunter Pond Dam represents a vital piece of South Carolina's water infrastructure.
