Lake Kristi, Water ski facility in Greenville, United States.
Lake Kristi is a water skiing facility in Greenville with two artificial lakes built side by side for different training and competition activities. The site includes a large surrounding property with professional-grade amenities and multiple designated areas for various water sports uses.
The original lake was built in 1981 on Parker Overton's property and named after his daughter, who became a successful water skier. The facility later developed into a venue for major regional sporting events and changed uses over time.
The 300-acre property surrounding Lake Kristi hosts NCAA Regional Championships and serves as a cross country running venue throughout the year.
Access to the facility is limited since it operates as a private site reserved for specific users and events. Visitors should inquire in advance and obtain permission, as not all areas are publicly accessible.
The facility received recognition in 1989 as one of only three supersites in North Carolina and hosted the national U.S. Open Water Ski Championships. This designation underscores the high level of infrastructure and its importance in professional water sports circles.
