The Apalache Mill, now the Lofts by the Lake, is a historic textile mill at 2200 Racing Road in Apalache, South Carolina. The main mill building, a three-story brick building with plain late-19th century styling, sits at the southern end of Apalachee Lake, created by damming the Tyger River at a narrow gorge just to the east. Built in 1888, it is one of the first mills to be built in the Spartanburg area, and remained in active service until 2007.[2]

The mill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.[1] The listing includes the mill and associated water power infrastructure, including a water tower and the lake.[2]
