It was nice, I was surprised by how clean the beach ⛱️🏖️ was. For an entrance fee of $5.00💵, There was no life guard, so you were swimming at your own risk, that was a disappointment 😞. A few tweeks like a life guard and keeping garbage 🗑️ cans emptied would have made it more enjoyable for your $5.00 💵.

Deanna Moore Farrow | Oct 23, 2019

Music is fine. No alcohol. I've seen people pour it in cups. Just don't get caught. Don't throw empties in trash. They watch for people with alcohol. Don't drink and drive!!!

If your coming from Clemson hey 123 and u pass the entrance on your LEFT pull over on the left side of road RIGHT B4 Guardrail... BEST FISHING 🎣 In Clemson! 12 mile is just a sand bottom.. Nowhere for them to take cover. Even PROS (when in town) hit that cove!! Livers or worms work best I'd set up 20 feet off the road in them woods! Good luck 👍

is it popular after dark

Fayth | Oct 23, 2019
Deanna Moore Farrow | Oct 23, 2019

Fishermen use the boat ramp all during the night. On the website it says "Open 24 Hours." At the gate it says gate locked at 10:00pm. My husband & I have been to this park many times over the past 20+ years & I've never seen the gate locked. There's a sign at the gate that says park closes at 10:00pm. We stayed all night & fished. Never been run off or locked in. Until tonight... We rode our motorcycle down tonight. Got there about 10:15pm. We were sitting, talking, looking across the lake. We're too old to be doing anything else. Lol When a police officer told us the park closes at 10pm and we'd have ro leave. He said it was almost 11:30pm. So we left.

I am looking for a location to host a benefit run (5k). Would this location suit such a purpose?

Todd Morra | Oct 23, 2019
mahfuz islam | Oct 23, 2019

I dont think so. This location is more like a family outing or picnic spot. You may consider Clemson botanical garden as i know they hosted several 5k run before.
