Wilkes Twin Lakes History
Twin Lakes was established in the 1950s by H. P. Pace and his son Junior for community fishing. In 1958, the Wilkes family bought the 22-acre property. They continued to use the lower lake for fishing but dedicated the upper lake to recreational use. Junior Pace managed the property until the late 90s, after which the Wilkes family took over maintenance and reservation duties.
​
As the remaining Wilkes family members aged, they chose to pass Twin Lakes to the Saluda Community Land Trust to ensure it would continue serving the community as it always has.
