This swimming hole in historic Gibson Pond Park has long been a favorite among Lexington County residents, helping them escape the hot South Carolina summers for nearly 30 years.

Formerly known as George’s Pond, this property was purchased in 1934 by Murray Gibson and transformed into a popular recreational area. In addition to the diving platform pictured above, Gibson also added a pavilion, picnic tables, and rental cabins.

The park closed in 1972, but was reopened to the public in 2007 with several major additions including the Scenic Overlook, which provides a unique view of a waterfall rushing over an old gristmill.

Many thanks to Jay Croft of Lexington for sharing this photo.
