Want to take the kids fishing?
Need a place to launch your boat?
Looking for a picnic area?
Hartwell Lake offers Corps of Engineers-managed recreation areas for people who want to spend the day (or maybe just an hour or two...) at the lake. Because camping is not allowed within these areas, they are commonly referred to as "day use" areas. Most of the day use areas have amenities such as picnic tables, playgrounds, boat launching ramps, courtesy docks, restrooms, picnic shelters (reservable!), facilities for the handicapped, drinking water, and swim beaches. In addition, the Corps manages many "access" areas on Hartwell Lake. Access areas are smaller recreation areas that typically have a boat launching ramp only, however, some may have restrooms and picnic tables.
There are also three state parks, five marinas, and city/county recreation areas located around Hartwell Lake for your enjoyment.
