Why you'll love Lake Wateree

Lake Wateree is a beautiful piece of history and the oldest lake in South Carolina.
Did you realize all of South Carolina’s major lakes are man-made wonders?
Lake Wateree was formed in 1919 after the Wateree River was impounded to create the Lake Wateree Hydro Station.
The lake that spans 19 square miles and now has long stretches developed with beautiful homes, as well as miles
of serene undeveloped shoreline.
The area truly attracts people who live for living. It's quaint and relaxing, while still having a ton of activities for the whole family.
Ready to get out on the water? Various locations around the lake provide boat access to the crystal clear waters including Clearwater Cove Marina
in Camden.
Getting hungry? Dine inside or out at the Dutchman Creek Marina and Restaurant in Winnsboro and try the famous
Creek Monster Burger while taking in the beautiful lake view.
