Here is the opening sequence (and a little more) of an obscure 1960s movie called The Road Hustlers. It was filmed mostly in central South Carolina near Lake Murray. I’ve been trying to id the lake shown in the opening sequence, but I have not been able to place it anywhere in North or South Carolina–so possibly it’s inserted stock footage.
OK, I’m bumping this based on the success of the earlier ‘Lake id’ thread. It’s probably in South Carolina–but not necessarily. But dog-gone if I can find any lake that matches it.
Any reason to assume that it isn’tLake Murray? I haven’t found any spot that matches it specifically, but the general appearance is about right, and the exact shape could have changed in several decades.
I suspect this is probably the North Saluda Reservoir in northeastern South Carolina. Found it completely by accident. Rather small in comparison to most of the other nearby lakes (only a little over 1000 acres), so it was going to be hard to find.
