i really am one of the luckiest people in internet debates. lol
I just came across this article about the 'lake' at Furman.
LINK
Windsurfing was also allowed for a number of years, and Furman’s crew team practiced on the lake into the nineties, even though swimming was banned at some point in the eighties. However, no one is sure of the precise date of the swimming ban. What is clear is that a significant decline in water quality caused the prohibition.
'The water quality is another common myth of the Lake, but it is one rooted in reality. Many students have heard that the Lake contains unsafe levels of E.coli, either from earth and environmental sciences and biology professors or from other students who take their classes. In certain ecology courses, students perform a lab in which they measure the E. coli in different parts of the Lake. Almost unfailingly, the Lake’s E. coli levels are much higher than the EPA’s upper limit recommended for recreational swimming.'

It's a lake and not an overly picturesque one at that. I don't get the hype. There's a much prettier one at the park a half-mile from my home. We go walking there a lot during the summer. I'm sure it raises our property values but I'd never bother bragging about it.

The lake at Clemson is basically swamp water. I've been there. Wouldn't swim in it.
