About the Lake Hartwell Area

Hartwell Shores sits in one of the most accessible lake regions in the Southeast — close to small-town charm, big-city convenience, and 56,000 acres of prime boating water.

A Lake Built for Real Lake Life

Lake Hartwell is located on the Savannah River, seven miles downstream from where the Tugaloo and Seneca Rivers converge to form the Savannah. Spanning nearly 56,000 acres of water and boasting over 1,000 miles of shoreline, it's one of the largest and most popular lakes in the Southeast.

Renowned for its fishing and recreational activities, the lake offers fun and excitement for everyone — visit one of the many state parks surrounding Lake Hartwell, or enjoy a weekend of camping with your family. Hartwell Shores puts you on large, private parcels with a boat slip already in place — no HOA dictating what you can build, store, or bring onto your own land.
