So no matter what your sport -- if it has to do with water, you'll find it on Lake Hartwell in Georgia.
Lake Hartwell borders Georgia and South Carolina on the Savannah, Tugaloo and Seneca rivers. Created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers between 1955 and 1963, the lake comprises nearly 56,000 acres of water with a shoreline of 962 miles.
There are dozens of launching ramps dotted throughout the shorelines of the lake. The Corps also maintains over 20 recreation areas with varying degrees of services, many with launching ramps, comfort stations, picnic areas and shelters, swimming beaches and playgrounds. Several of the areas have facilities for the handicapped.
