Lake Murray, South Carolina

Any boaters near Columbia, SC? Always looking for new people to go out with. First boat and first post! Have already taken the new LSV (actually an '07) out three times in the last few weeks. Plan on getting a lot of use out of it this summer.

I've enjoyed reading all of the threads and decided to finally sign up. Thanks to all who have submitted info and pics. It's been a big help.

Never been down there yet. Might go this summer sometime... Lemme know if you ever come up to Keowee or Jocassee and maybe we can meet up. BTW, nice boat!

We have great friends that live on the South side of the lake in Lexington. Hope to get up there this summer with the boat and will be sure to let you know.

Drew, you'd have to put the boat on a trailer and tow it somewhere. Are you sure you know how to do that?

[wolfeman131]

Are you kidding? I tow it at least twice a year.

Once to put it in the lake & on the lift and once to take it out and into storage for the winter.

Thanks all!

moombadaze- This boat was actually purchased from Land O' Lakes Marina. I spent a few summer days on Padgett Lake and still have family in Lutz (Lake Thomas). Awesome area.

Im really glad to hear that something is going to be done about the Lake Murray Lodge. Lake Murray is one of the prettiest lakes in the state, IMO, and the only thing thats kept me from staying there recently is the decaying state lodge. I hope something is done soon

The last time I was at Lake Murray it seemed that there was a tremendous amount of vegetation in the water - looked to be enough to threaten to choke out all aqua-life and kill boat motors too! Was at least 9 years ago so maybe it was cleaned up.

I'm a couple of hours from Murray on Lake Hartwell - I have a cabin and my Moomba there - I live and work there. I also keep a cruiser on Lake Lanier but I am thinking of trading it for a smaller one on Hartwell (the one I have is too tall for Hartwell bridges).

To those who mentioned Lake Keowee and Jocassee - I've hiked around Jocassee but have not boated there - beautiful lake - My test run for my new Outback was taken on Keowee - bought from JC Sports (a really good outfit - I highly recommend them - great folks to work with).
