The Bard Springs Dam No. 1 is a historic recreational support facility in Ouachita National Forest. It is located at the Bard Springs recreation site, southeast of Mena and north of Athens in Polk County, off County Road 82 and Forest Road 106 on the banks of Blaylock Creek. This dam is located at the western end of the recreation area, and is about 65 feet (20 m) long and 8 feet (2.4 m) high at its center. It is made of fieldstone, and has a series of chutes and steps across its top. It was built in 1936 by a crew of the Civilian Conservation Corps, and is one of four surviving CCC structures (the others are a second dam, bathhouse, and a picnic shelter) in the immediate area.

The dam was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
