Lake King in Rutherglen Park is a man made lake and was the town's original reservoir for household water supplies. After the Water Tower was built, Lake King was used by the local children as a swimming pool. Since the Swimming Pool was built, Lake King has reverted to a beauty spot.Small black and white snapshot of Lake King and Pier and equipment used for Reservoir purposes - UnmountedOn back: "Lake King pre 1962 from Nokie Morrison"lake king, reservoir
