Although initially constructed in
the 1930's as a hydroelectric generating facility, Lake Murray has become
a major recreational destination in central South Carolina.
Bordering Lexington, Chapin and Irmo & only a short drive from Columbia, Lake Murray is enjoyed by thousands of people every week. |
| There's plenty of room for everyone!
At 41 miles long and 14 miles wide at its widest point, Lake Murray covers
an area of 78 square miles with 649 miles of shoreline. With dozens of
marinas,
boat
landings and ramps,
it is easy to find a place to put your boat into the water. Don't have
a boat? There's plenty of places to buy
one, or even rent
one for the day! |
