Information: Before the Rocky River Dam there was no Lake Secession. The original area was scenic, green and hilly with the run of the Rocky River winding south towards the Savannah River. In 1938, a private company began the construction of the Rocky River Dam to generate and sell power. After a couple of torrential rains and flooding along the Rocky River the project went broke and was up for sale. In 1940, the City of Abbeville bought the project and it was completed as WPA project in 1940.
