Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake

Village Lake, previously named Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake, is a reservoir in Richland County, South Carolina, United States. Construction of the reservoir was finished in 1973. The 93.2-acre (377,000 m²) lake is on a tributary of the Crane Creek River.

History

The reservoir was built in 1973 along the tributary of the Crane Creek River. Its previous name, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake, was first published in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Dams and Reservoirs List in October 1981.

The lake is named after a place called Morris Village Alcohol and Drug Addiction Treatment Center, a nearby residential treatment center for people with substance dependence. Before 2022, its owner, the South Carolina Department of Mental Health, used the name "the pond at Morris Village", sometimes "Morris Village Pond" or the "Village Lake". On June 9, 2022, the lake was officially renamed to Village Lake by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN).
