This scenic 680-acre Upcountry state park, with its fourteen miles of shoreline on Lake Hartwell, is popular with fishermen, nature lovers and campers. Conveniently located just off I-85, the park offers thickly wooded areas in addition to scenic views of the lake and distant foothills. Lake Hartwell, completed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1963, is a 56,000-acre reservoir providing flood control and hydroelectric power. It is one of three impoundments located on the Savannah River.
