Wateree Home Owners Association of Fairfield County is a non-profit
organization made up of citizens dedicated to maintaining this invaluable
environmental resource, Lake Wateree.
This 238-acre park is located on Lake Wateree, one of South Carolina's premier
fishing lakes, with over 13,000 acres and 190 miles of shoreline. The dam was
completed in 1919, making it one of the oldest lakes in the state. The park
provides a habitat for many species of
wildlife, with an abundance of whitetail deer, gray squirrels, raccoons,
oppossums, wild turkey and various species of birds, including egrets, blue
herons and mallard and wood ducks. A large oak tree in the picnic area dates
back over 100 years. Campers and fishermen enjoy the convenient access from
