## Natural Features

Hartwell Lake is a man-made lake bordering Georgia and South Carolina on the
Savannah, Tugaloo and Seneca Rivers. The dam and lake area boasts 8
campgrounds and 11 day-use facilities that are operated by the US Army Corps
of Engineers. The Hartwell Project was originally authorized for hydro-power,
flood control, and navigation. Later, recreation, water quality, water supply
and fish and wildlife management were added. Surrounding vegetation allows for
plenty of shade, and the 962 miles of shoreline provide numerous swimming
beaches, picnic areas and boat ramps.
