About Richard B. Russell Lake

Access to Two States

On the border between Georgia and South Carolina sits Richard B. Russell, also known as Lake Russell. It is situated about two and a half hours from Atlanta, Georgia, and an hour and forty minutes from Greenville, South Carolina.

Rich In Nature

At this 26,650-acre reservoir, camping, boating, and hiking are all very popular activities. The lake's 540 miles of shoreline are also popular spots for swimming, kayaking, canoeing, water skiing, and fishing.

Lake Russell supports both warm-water species and cold-water species of fish, including bass, catfish, crappie, trout, sunfish, perch, and stripers.

Residents of the lake may enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities at Richard B. Russell State Park. From campers, cabins, hiking paths, and a swimming beach to disc golf and a regular golf course, this park truly has it all.

Explore Greenville

The vibrant city of Greenville in upstate South Carolina is the ideal location for any day trip because it is home to various entertainment opportunities.

Fans of music and theater will both love the Peace Center, a nonprofit theater that performs world-class plays and music in its premieres. The location has a history of hosting events.

Visitors to Greenville who are hungry will appreciate the city's vast array of dining options, including Kitchen Sync, a distinctive, highly regarded made-from-scratch restaurant with exceptional hospitality.

The almost limitless selection of breweries in Greenville, including Quest Brewing Company, Birds Fly South Ale Project, Fireforge Crafted Beer, and more, should be explored by beer enthusiasts.
