Last week’s image of “Tumbling water,” showed the spillway at Lake Placid at Paris Mountain State Park in Greenville.
“Lake Placid is a 13-acre lake located within Paris Mountain State Park located approximately 8-miles north of Greenville, S.C,” reader Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, said. “When this dam was built in 1898, the water it collected was known simply as Reservoir #2. The first reservoir, today called Mountain Lake, had been constructed eight years earlier, but the growing city of Greenville demanded additional reliable and pure water, so this second reservoir was needed. When this reservoir was added to the Greenville municipal water system, no one envisioned that it too, would be outgrown by 1904.”
Others who correctly identified the photo were Elizabeth Jones and Jay Altman, both of Columbia; David Lupo of Mount Pleasant; Pat Keadle of Wagener; and Jacie Godfrey of Florence.
