Lake Day Atlas

Lake Hartwell’s branching arms give the reservoir several distinct gateways. Lake Hartwell State Park on the South Carolina side is a convenient choice for a visit along the I-85 corridor.

On the water

Plan your lake day

Start with a walk or picnic at the state park, then spend the afternoon fishing or launching from the same side of the lake. Overnight visitors can compare the park’s campsites and camper cabins.

Field notes

Before you go

Pick a meeting place by ramp or park name. A search for Hartwell alone can send members of the same group to opposite sides of the state line.
