Wateree Dam Fishing

While we were recently there, they opened it several times. Extremely fast currents for probably a half hour at a time. Don't know if it's set times, or scheduled.

Yes it is

You can't see the dam from the parking area. It's on tail race road. It's a dirt road that goes to the boat ramp and parking area. Park at the end of the parking lot past the boat ramp and you'll see the sidewalks that takes you right to the dam platform.

Go here all the time! Recommend fishing when we haven't had a lot of rain so the water is low and running slow. Just a heads up, the alarm system you might hear is just the indicator that they are releasing from the lake. Don't panic! lol It will make the water rise slightly for about an hour then drop to previous levels. See when the sands go from dry to wet so you can get an idea of how high it might come up or you can fish right up next to the dam on the big platform.

I know people camp over night but not sure about a week

It was open this week too
