Looking for a chance to unwind at one of South Carolina’s most beautiful lakes? Why not come explore Lake Wateree State Recreation Area?







Located on Desportes Island, Lake Wateree SRA has a tackle shop/ park store with refueling dock and public boat ramp that can meet the needs of most any fisherman or boater.







The lake is truly a fishermen’s delight with significant populations of crappie, bream, largemouth bass, catfish and striped bass. Lake Wateree hosts numerous fishing tournaments throughout the year.
