Canal Ind Pond Dam, also known as Gibson Wall Dam, is a private earth dam located in Florence, South Carolina. Built in 1965, this dam stands at a height of 6 feet and spans 625 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 62 acre-feet. The primary purpose of this dam is for recreation, making it a popular spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy outdoor activities.

Despite its recreational benefits, Canal Ind Pond Dam has a significant hazard potential and is currently rated as being in poor condition. The dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure public safety. The last inspection in March 2021 revealed the dam's deteriorating condition, highlighting the need for immediate attention to prevent any potential risks to the surrounding area.

With its location on the TR-Middle Branch river, Canal Ind Pond Dam serves as both a recreational hub and a critical structure requiring ongoing maintenance and risk management measures. As water levels continue to fluctuate and climate patterns shift, it is essential for stakeholders to prioritize the safety and integrity of this dam to protect both the environment and the community it serves.
