Vickers, located in Huntingdon, Tennessee, is a privately owned earth dam built in 1948 on Rock Creek. With a structural height of 20.9 feet and a hydraulic height of 19 feet, Vickers serves multiple purposes, including flood control and water storage. The dam has a storage capacity of 73 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 58 acre-feet and a surface area of 7 acres.

Despite being classified as having a high hazard potential, Vickers has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam is not regulated by the state and does not have a permit for operation or inspection. Although it has not undergone any modifications in recent years, the dam's risk assessment is moderate. With no emergency action plan in place and limited risk management measures identified, there are potential concerns for the safety and maintenance of Vickers in the event of a dam failure or emergency situation. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Vickers an intriguing case study for the challenges and considerations involved in managing private dams in Tennessee.
