Pine Dam, also known as Pine Lake or Piney Creek Dam, is a Federal-owned structure located in Henderson, Tennessee. Built by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in 1964, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 39 feet and spans a length of 550 feet along the Piney Creek river. Its primary purpose is flood risk reduction, with additional benefits including recreation opportunities for locals and visitors.

With a storage capacity of 7,620 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 5,040 acre-feet, Pine Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 100 feet and is equipped with other controlled outlets including slide gates. Despite its significant hazard potential, Pine Dam is regularly inspected by TVA to ensure its structural integrity and safety standards are maintained.

Located in the Memphis District and overseen by the Tennessee Valley Authority, Pine Dam serves as a vital infrastructure for flood mitigation and water management in the area. Its strategic placement and design make it a key player in protecting the community from potential inundation events while also providing recreational opportunities for residents to enjoy the surrounding Pine Lake area.
