When it’s time for outdoor recreation,
Americans head for the water. The Corps’ many lakes, rivers, and beaches
offer everyone fun, fitness, rest and relaxation. And, America’s first
choice for water-based recreation is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers;
one out of every ten Americans will visit a Corps lake this year.
Hartwell Lake is consistently one of the
top 5 most visited Corps site in the U.S. and offers a variety of
recreational opportunities. Outdoor water-related recreation abounds at
Hartwell Lake. Swimmers delight in the sand beaches and designated swim
areas located in many Corps recreation areas and campgrounds along the
shoreline. The lake affords the avid sports fisherman and the weekend
angler equal opportunities for a rewarding fishing experience. Coves and
areas of quiet water provide the water skier with excellent surfaces on
which to pursue this sport. Hartwell Lake appeals to boaters of all
kinds, whether their specialty is canoeing, sailing or motor boating.
Picnicking with your family and friends, sightseeing, and other outdoor
experiences can be enjoyed at the many public recreation areas located
around the lake.
Safety…Hartwell Lake, as a public
recreation lake, is provided for the use and enjoyment of you, our
visitor. However, each year, needless injuries and deaths occur as a
result of swimming and boating related accidents - most of which are
preventable. To insure your enjoyment, you should observe water safety
precautions as well as applicable federal, state, and local laws when
using the lake’s waters for swimming, boating and other activities.
