CAYCE, S.C. (March 30, 2023) — Dominion Energy will open its Lake Murray public parks in Lexington for the 2023 recreation season beginning Wednesday, April 5. 

The beach and recreation area on the Lexington side will remain open for the season through Labor Day, Sept. 4. 

“Each year, Lake Murray is a beloved destination for visitors to enjoy their summer,” said Billy Chastain, manager of Lake Management for Dominion Energy South Carolina. “Safety is our main priority. While we want visitors to enjoy all the lake has to offer, we urge everyone to be careful while swimming and to follow boating safety rules.”
