Drummond Hunting & Fishing Club Dam

About Drummond Hunting & Fishing Club Dam

The primary purpose of Drummond Hunting & Fishing Club Dam is recreation. The dam creates a reservoir used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. The dam is owned by Maxton Land Company (private). It impounds the Stony Creek near Johnswood.

The dam stands 10 feet tall, creates a reservoir covering 40 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 240 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 6 square miles. Completed in 1945, the structure is well-established, with more than 75 years of service.

This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life. Its condition is rated poor, meaning the dam has recognized safety deficiencies that require remediation to address risks. The most recent inspection on record was 05/06/2003. That was over 22 years ago.
