 Clarks
Hill Lake (J. Strom Thurmond Lake) is the largest U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers project east of the Mississippi River and one of the
largest inland bodies of water in the South.
Clarks Hill Lake, which is nestled on the Georgia and South Carolina
border, stretches 39 miles up the Savannah River, 26 miles up the
Little River in Georgia, and 10 miles up Little River in South Carolina.
 Mixed
stands of hardwoods and pine trees cover the reservoir’s irregular
1200-mile shoreline. More than 250 islands, created when the lake
was filled, jut above its surface and provide homes for a diversity
of plants and wildlife, including some endangered species. It is
a paradise for nature lovers and a fisherman’s dream, filled
with stripers and many other varieties of fish and wildlife.
