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
