Robert Schrimpf Dam, located in Orangeburg, South Carolina, is a privately owned earth dam completed in 1988 for recreational purposes. Standing at a height of 15 feet and stretching 150 feet in length, the dam boasts a storage capacity of 108 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 60 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment has been deemed poor, with the last inspection conducted in July 2017 revealing the need for maintenance and improvements.

Situated on the TR-Turkey Hill Branch river or stream within the Savannah District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Robert Schrimpf Dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control. While the dam does not have a spillway, it is equipped with outlet gates for water release. The presence of associated structures is minimal, with the dam primarily serving as a recreational water resource for the local community. Given its importance for recreation and potential water storage, ongoing efforts to enhance the dam's condition and safety measures are crucial for ensuring its long-term sustainability and functionality in the face of changing climate patterns and water resource management needs.
