Lake Hartwell, Reservoir at Georgia-South Carolina border, United States.
Lake Hartwell extends across 56,000 acres with 962 miles of shoreline, connecting the Savannah, Tugaloo, and Seneca rivers.
The Hartwell Dam construction started in 1955 and ended in 1959, with archaeological excavations performed to preserve artifacts before flooding.
The lake bears the name of Nancy Hart, a woman who fought during the American Revolutionary War in Georgia.
Interstate 85 provides direct access to the lake's facilities, which include five marinas, nine campgrounds, and multiple boat ramps.
The lake supports 250 bird species and 40 mammal species, while Ghost Island contains historical grave markers from submerged communities.
