Below Dam Recreation Area (South Carolina)

Found out short notice that they were checking all the dam outlets to make sure they were working. What a treat to watch each gate open one at a time. I've only been able to see it once before but that was due to flooding. The roar of the water coming out of all the gates at once was spectacular. The power of nature really humbles you at times. I've always been impressed with this park. The rangers keep up with it very well. Normally a very quiet place to come and enjoy the river. Especially if you like the sound of water.

Even though the fish weren't biting for me, I enjoyed walking around. Very clean areas. Will be back again.

Best cuban / puertorrican food I have taste in NC. Delicious and soooooo tasty! OMG highly recommended! Great service and just a sabrosa atmosphere! Love it!

Nice place to view the dam and just relax. There's a small playground for kids and swings along the river. Plenty of space to go fishing.

Peaceful, well maintained, has a park, has a well marked cement trail, has picnic tables, has benches, and we always catch a ton of fish! Love this forgotten spot.

Nice clean area by the dam for picnics, small gatherings or outdoor exercise

Love ittt the water is so great and warm!!

Had a birthday party for my 8 year old granddaughter. The shelter was clean and ready for is this morning.The bathrooms were clean also.We had a great time. And will return again.

Great place to explain electricity and power generation to the kids!

A great place to break away, absorb the view and breath a sigh of relief.. Nice swings as well!

Georgia pride

Beautiful place to have a picnic 😊

The water level was low today, but the park was amazing. It was a foggy morning, the park was empty, and the place was blissfully peaceful. It has a really nice fishing pier. The only thing that ruined the morning was the gar in the water. Its the only fish that came near my fish hook.

Perfect weather it seems like area just naturally brings a air funnel. Went for a memorial service that truly honored the man we celebrated the life of ❤

It was peaceful, no crowd, it has a boat ramp, and picnic area with a playground, and grills

Beautiful place to relax and enjoy your time.

It's beautiful!! Very relaxing and somewhere to have a nature walk. A park is also located at the bottom of the dam along with boat ramp and picnic area. I have been coming here since I was a little girl.

Love this view! They have a nice playground and picnic areas. If you want to fish, there is a clean fishing platform under the dam. If you have a boat, there is a nice ramp to use.

Great spot to fish!

Both sides of the river have free boat launches. The Georgia side launch does not extend far enough and is pretty rocky but with a small boat you will be ok. The South Carolina side is much better. It's more like a park. The boat ramp is better. The Georgia side is more primitive.

It is really nice. They have a shelter, restrooms, playground, and walking trail. It is very well maintained and clean. We really enjoyed our time here and can't wait to go back and play and walk the trail by the river.
