SC Picture of the Month – Langley Pond in Burnettown
As we enter another sultry South Carolina August, we wanted to share this refreshing scene of a dock on beautiful Langley Pond in Aiken County.
At 285 acres, Langley Pond seems large enough to be a lake, but the name given to it when it was created in the late 1800s has stuck. The vast pond serves as the center of a spacious water recreation park with facilities for swimming, boating, fishing, skiing, regattas, picnicking, and community events.
Prior to the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Langley Pond became the home practice facility of the US Rowing Team. After five years, the Olympic team moved to California, but Langley Pond remains a popular training and regatta venue for rowing teams from all over the country.
Many thanks to Larry Gleason of Aiken for contributing this photograph.
