LAKE MURRAY,
SOUTH CAROLINA
Lake Murray is a 50,000 acre man-made lake is just short drive from Columbia and offers boating, swimming, and some of the finest largemouth bass fishing in the South. An excellent producer of largemouth bass, including trophies over 10 pounds are available on Lake Murray. Docks and brush piles provide important cover.
Lake Murray is a reservoir in the United States located in the state of South Carolina. It is approximately 50,000 acres in size, and has roughly 500 miles of shoreline. It was impounded in the late 1920’s to provide hydroelectric power to the state of South Carolina. Lake Murray is fed by the Saluda River which flows from upstate South Carolina near the North Carolina state line. The Saluda Dam (officially the Dreher Shoals Dam) was an engineering feat at the time of its construction. The dam, using the native red clay soil and bedrock, was the largest earthen dam in the world when it was completed in 1930. Lake Murray itself is named after the project’s chief engineer, William S. Murray. The Saluda Dam is approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) long and 220 feet (67 m) high. Lake Murray is 41 miles (66 km) long, and 14 miles (23 km) wide at its widest point. At the time when the lake was finished, it was the world’s largest man-made reservoir.
