About Thurmond Lake

Lake Strom Thurmond, which is also known as Clarks Hill Lake, is a 71,100 acre reservoir bordering South Carolina and Georgia. Thurmond Lake is one of the Southeast's largest and most popular public recreational lakes serving around 6.5 million visitors annually.

The lake has 1,200 miles of shoreline and has an average depth of around 40 feet, with the deepest area being 140 feet. There are more than 100 islands spread across Thurmond Lake, which extends some 40 miles up the Savannah River valley and 26 miles up the Little River valley.

Thurmond Lake is known for some of the best bass fishing in the south. In addition, the lake is very popular with boaters who enjoy skiing, tubing, and swimming. Even though Thurmond Lake is one of the busiest in the South, it never feels crowded thanks to the many areas of open water.

Two popular campgrounds in the area are Baker Creek State Park and Hickory Knob State Park. These feature boating, fishing, picnic areas, biking, playgrounds, hiking trails, and even a golf course at Hickory Knob.

Thurmond Lake is the perfect getaway, centrally located only an hour from Columbia, SC and two hours from Atlanta, GA.
