Lm Dobson Pond Dam, also known as Barbare Dam, is a recreational earth dam located in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Built in 1965 by the USDA NRCS, this dam stands at a height of 28 feet and stretches 720 feet in length, creating a storage capacity of 67 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is for recreation, offering a serene escape for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy the surrounding Maple Creek.

Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment was deemed unsatisfactory during its last inspection in July 2017. The dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. While the risk assessment categorizes the dam as moderate, there are currently no risk management measures in place. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find interest in monitoring the dam's condition and potential improvements to ensure its long-term safety and sustainability for recreational use.
