Boater Reviews
A beautiful place to walk along the water, and plenty of picnic tables/sitting areas! There were lots of small cove-like areas for catch and release fishing, but I would only do that on days that aren’t busy with boats/kayaks/people splashing along the shoreline for safety. Such a gorgeous hidden gem though!
A beautiful park and lake side trail in the backwaters of Clemson! Mesmerizing view of the lake and small walkable trails in the forest! Watching sunset here is the most pleasing experience!
Heavily wooded Disc Golf Course right along the cliffs of the lake. Don't use your favorite disc and bring a spider web knocker with you. Cages are old and camouflage during certain seasons. Pretty scenery on the side of a lake though.
DISC GOLF ONLY REVIEW: Hole 5 and 6 could not be found, sign for 9 missing, the course was really impacted by the storms rendering it unplayable. if you want to hit a few holes for fun with beautiful views that would be the only reason to play it until they can get caught up and clean up the 100 trees plus that need to be cleaned up that have been blown down. Beautiful back drop to play disc golf.
This review is about the disc golf course. Very cute short course most holes are 150 feet long perfect for kids. This place could be really awesome if the park were maintained all it would need is some crushed stone at the tea boxes and someone to come through with a heavy duty Weedwhacker and clear some of the thorn bushes
