The 5 intake towers at Saluda Shoals Dam on Lake Murray (located Northwest of Columbia, SC). The dam is 1.7 miles long. The dam was the largest earthen dam in the world when completed in 1930 and the largest man-made lake in the world at that time. We live on this lake, about 10 miles by boat from the towers. http://www.lakemurray-sc.com/ #lakemurray #southcarolina

This picture was taken in August 2012 from the south side of the Dreher Shoals Dam. Lake Murray is located within 4 counties of central South Carolina. It's a popular lake for boating, fishing and water sports. My wife and I are fortunate to live on this beautiful lake - about 10 miles by boat from this spot. #lakemurray #lakemurraysc
