Sherry, located in Williamson County, Tennessee, is a privately owned earth dam built in 1982 primarily for fire protection, stock, and as a small fish pond. It has a hydraulic height of 17.6 feet and a structural height of 21.7 feet, with a total length of 322 feet and a storage capacity of 51 acre-feet. The dam sits on Tribowl Creek and serves as a recreational area in addition to its primary purposes.

Despite its modest size, Sherry has a high hazard potential and is classified as having a moderate risk level. The dam does not have outlet gates or a controlled spillway, which could pose challenges in managing potential flooding events. While it has not been inspected since July 2018, it is recommended for inspections every five years to ensure it remains in safe operating condition.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Sherry intriguing for its dual role as a water management structure and recreational spot. Its location in the Nashville District and association with Tribowl Creek provide opportunities for further study on the impact of dams on local ecosystems and water resources. Additionally, the dam's classification as high hazard and moderate risk highlights the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to mitigate potential hazards and ensure public safety in the face of changing climate conditions.
