There is one in every other town, but that is the unofficial name for them.

It feels like it was just named after whatever people find there most often, like Maggot Slough in Arkansas.

The article misidentifies Richland County as "Richmond County," which doesn't exist. The lake is a reservoir located near a rehab center. It's actually named Village Lake, after the center. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_and_Drug_Abuse_Lake

Was here to comment that. Also, didn’t know this was real. Also, didn’t realize I grew up 10 miles from it.

I grew up in Columbia and never heard of it. I have seen Richland called Richmond by out-of-staters though. People seem to think Virginia and the Carolinas are all one state.

Yep, high school and college in Columbia. I was a Richland Two kid. And seriously, how hard is it to read an “L”? RICHLAND COUNTY. Sorry, was having flashbacks lol

Ok. This really needs to be on my bucket list as a smoke spot.

It’s on the property of a rehab and not open to the public sooo…. probably wouldn’t recommend
