Lake Thom-A-Lex Park

About

Lake Thom-A-Lex is a 1950s reservoir on upper Abbotts Creek that supplies drinking water to both Thomasville and Lexington. Its lakeside park on Yokley Road, listed among area attractions by Thomasville Tourism, gives the public waterfront access close to both cities.

The lake impounds the upper section of Abbotts Creek and initially held 2.2 billion gallons; Lexington reports it has been the city's regular drinking-water source since it was built in the 1950s. The cities of Thomasville and Lexington share it as a water supply.
