Singing Pines

About

Singing Pines Recreation Area is a 42-acre day-use facility operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Hartwell Lake, a large reservoir spanning the Georgia-South Carolina border. The facility caters to day visitors seeking lakeside recreation including swimming at two designated beaches, fishing from a dedicated pier, and boating via the on-site ramp and courtesy dock. The picnic facilities include 57 individual sites, two standard shelters with water and electric service suitable for group gatherings, and five smaller mini-shelters. Two comfort stations provide restroom facilities, and two playground areas offer activities for children. While shelters can be reserved in advance for events, there is no overnight camping permitted at this location. The surrounding Hartwell Lake area offers additional recreation opportunities including eight campgrounds operated by the Corps of Engineers for those seeking overnight accommodations. Popular activities on the lake include fishing for largemouth bass, striped bass, crappie, and catfish, as well as water skiing, canoeing, and sailing.
