Hood is a privately owned earth dam located in Cumberland, Tennessee, along the Caney Fork Creek. Built in 1964 by the Nashville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, this dam stands at a structural height of 17.1 feet and has a hydraulic height of 14.4 feet. With a normal storage capacity of 70 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 104 acre-feet, Hood covers a surface area of 12.2 acres and serves a drainage area of 0.49 square miles.

Although Hood is classified as having a low hazard potential, it is still considered to have a moderate risk level, with a risk assessment rating of 3. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and the last inspection took place in May 2019 with a frequency of every 5 years. While the dam does not have a regulated state jurisdiction or permitting, it does have an uncontrolled spillway type and no outlet gates. Despite its relatively low hazard potential, the risk management measures and emergency action plan for Hood are currently not available, indicating potential areas for improvement in ensuring the safety and resilience of this water resource structure.
