Lake Murray | From the Sky

Lake Murray is a 50,000-acre reservoir with roughly 650 miles of sparkling shoreline. Fed by the Saluda River, the lake isn’t just a recreational attraction for locals, but also serves as an essential power station providing 245 million kilowatts of hydroelectricity to the entire midlands region each year.
