Lake-Hartwell
is located on the South Carolina/Georgia border along I-85, just two hours from both Charlotte, North Carolina and Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the largest lakes in the South Carolina/Georgia area. Lake Hartwell provides 962 miles of shoreline and 56,000 acres for some of the best fishing and boating in the southeast. Fourteen miles of the lakeshore lie within the Lake Hartwell State Recreation Area. There are also several golf courses nearby, as well as many waterfalls, hiking trails, horseback riding, white water rafting, canoeing, rock climbing and mountain biking opportunities. The Tugaloo River area of the lake is considered the best place for water skiing, and both Tugaloo River and Seneca River are considered prime fishing spots. The Big Water area, south of I-85, is the best place for sailing and larger boats. Camping is another popular activity around Lake Hartwell, with seven campgrounds located in the immediate area. With its convenient location on South Carolina Route 11 just off I-85, the Lake Hartwell State Recreation Area also serves as a gateway to the Cherokee Foothills National Scenic Highway. In addition, the surrounding mountain country offers many scenic drives and shopping opportunities at antique stores, specialty shops and country flea markets.
