Want to take the kids fishing?
Need a place to launch your boat?
Looking for a picnic area?
Thurmond Lake offers 9 Corps 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, fishing piers, courtesy docks, restrooms, picnic shelters, facilities for the handicapped, drinking water, and swim beaches. In addition, the Corps manages 29 "access" areas on Thurmond 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 six state parks, six marinas, three U.S. Forest Service access areas, and several city/county recreation areas located around Thurmond Lake for your enjoyment.
