    Taking the scenic route is a good thing. It brought me along this road where I got to see this beautiful dam. A favorite walking spot for the exercise crowd, there are parking areas at the north and south end of the dam and a walkway that gives you a lovely view of the lake and at the same time is well protected from intrusion by an errant driver. Bonus: Sunset.

    This is one of my most favorite places to relax in SC. Being an army brat, confined to South Carolina for decades, there isn't much in SC that excites me or has the ability to put a smile on my face. This body of water is one place that never fails. From the moment I was first introduced to this place this has become a place of refuge. When I can't quiet my mind and am unable to find peace even in my home this is one of my few go to's. It never fails to deliver!

    Very nice area to seat out by the water to fish with my husband. I will bring a book to read. I still can't believe it's a lake! It is huge!

    This is a great park, it's very well filled with greenery and flowers. It's behind the police…read morestation, which I think is a huge plus on many levels. There is a nice playground as well as spash area to run around in. There are stairs as well as ramps everywhere to accommodate everyone. There is a ampatherater that they use very often within the community. It's dog-friendly, and there are even swing chairs for the adults that might still have some kid in us. There are nice bathromms and parking is easy. There are always cop cars there dont worry. They do sometimes close the park for events like forth of July, so be aware that it's a park that can be closed. Its down town, but it does not feel that way its feels like you're lost in the great nature.

    Located beside/behind Municipal building in downtown Lexington SC…read more Upon walking up from parking lot you can go straight to the playground/water fountains or walk left toward outdoor amphitheater. Left was where we went for pictures amongst the tall trees on walking trails. There are winding trails that go down/up elevations through wilderness areas. There are public restrooms very clean all things considered, few small ponds, a book rental box, and of course the playground. The play area looks fairly new encompassing a large area with the rubber ground. Reading and seeing older pics here on Yelp there was gravel before in playground so this is massive upgrade. There is an outdoor covered bench spot right beside playground good for children parties. Finally there is the water shooting fountain pipes?? I don't know what these are called but they shoot water randomly that children jump through. It is great place to bring children and offers many picture locations.
