About Lake Murray
Lake Murray is known as the “Crown Jewel” of South Carolina for its beauty and pristine waters. This man-made lake is 41 miles long, 14 miles wide in places and covers some 50,000 acres with 650 miles of shoreline and depths of over 200 feet. Construction on the 1 ½ mile, 200 ft. high earthen dam to harness the Saluda River for hydroelectric power to serve the Greater Columbia area was begun in 1927 and completed in 1930. The lake has since become a favorite of fishermen, boaters, water skiers and swimmers. Wildlife such as herons and egrets can be seen on the shoreline and striped bass, bream, catfish, crappie, and largemouth bass abound in the lake. Many national bass fishing tournaments are held on Lake Murray each year.
