Lake Marion: Your One Stop Source For Lake Fun

Lake marion moultrie map.jpgLake Marion is the largest lake in South Carolina, centrally located and with territory within five counties. The lake is referred to as South Carolina's inland sea. It has a 315-mile (507 km) shoreline and covers nearly 110,000 acres (450 square kilometers or 173.7 square miles)[1] of rolling farmlands, former marshes, and river valley landscape.
The Santee River was dammed in the 1940s to supply hydroelectric power, as part of the rural electrification efforts initiated under President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal during the Great Depression. It is one of the fifty largest lakes in the United States, whether natural or man-made reservoirs, but covers only about a third of the area of the fifteenth largest in size.[2]

ORIGIN


Lake Marion was created by the construction of the Santee Dam in November 1941, part of the state-owned electric and water utility Santee Cooper's Hydroelectric and Navigation Project. The project also included the construction of the Pinopolis Dam (Cooper River Dam) to create Lake Moultrie, immediately downstream, and a diversion canal seven and a half miles long to connect the two.[3]
The earthen Santee Dam is eight miles long and has 62 Tainter gates. Despite its size, the Santee Dam creates only 1.92 megawatts of hydropower. Hydroelectric facilities at Pinopolis Dam were designed to produce the lion's share of the original scheme: currently about 128 megawatts. In 1985, as part of a large-scale rediversion and redesign, the United States Army Corps of Engineers installed the St. Stephen Dam hydro facility to recapture lost generating capacity of another 84 megawatts.[4]
Lake Marion is fed by many tributaries, including Wyboo Creek and the Santee River, and also by numerous springs, including Eutaw Springs. The lake is named for the American Revolutionary War General Francis Marion. His former home of Pond Bluff was one of those flooded when the lake was created.

LOCATION

 
Located in five of South Carolina's counties including: Berkeley, Calhoun, Clarendon, Orangeburg, and Sumter.
Public access is provided through several public boat ramps, Santee State Park, and the Santee National Wildlife Refuge. Interstate 95 crosses the man-made lake near the Town of Santee.

WILDLIFE

Lake Marion is known for its big fish and abundant wildlife. The state fishing record for Largemouth Bass (16.2 Ibs) was set at this lake.[5] Other fish that abound are striped bass, white perch, white bass, crappie, channel catfish, Arkansas blue catfish, Shellcrackers, bream and Chain (Jack). Other wildlife that call Lake Marion home include deer, fox, squirrel, turtle, dove, wild turkey, alligator and various species of duck, hawk, eagle, egret and osprey.
Conditions vary from shallow swamps and blackwater ponds to vast open water with a multitude of underwater structures. The area was not completely cleared when Lake Marion was created. As a result, there are thousands of stumps, standing dead tree trunks and live cypress trees.




















Summers Corner in Summerville

MWV begins work on Summers Corner development

Construction has started on a 6,435-acre community development at the corner of S.C. Highway 61 and Summers Drive in Summerville.
MWV launched Phase 1 of Summers Corner this week with construction work on two new Dorchester District Two schools: Sand Hill Elementary and Middle School of the Arts. The middle school will include a 1,000-seat performing arts space, and both schools are expected to open in 2016.

The first phase will also include 400 new homes, ranging from $250,000 to $400,000. Model homes will open in the summer of 2015, and residents are expected to move into single-family homes during the fall of 2015. A lake house with canoe and kayak launch space, a walking and biking trail system near a network of lakes, demonstration gardens, an outdoor market and a neighborhood pool house will be built during the next year as well.
Retail centers called The Commons and Village Crossroads will be built near the entrance of the community.
Ken Seeger, president of Commercial Development and Land Management at MWV, said Summers Corner will be a “community in a garden” and will have a “natural feel to it with an emphasis on all types of gardening and really honoring nature and the outdoors.”
Clemson University is expected to offer gardening classes in The Commons, according to Seeger.
“We really tried to raise the bar in terms of quality of planning and design and draw from best practices all around the country,” he said.
Between the roads, utilities and amenities under construction, MWV expects to spend in excess of $10 million on the first phase, according to Seeger. He said MWV is working with three homebuilders now on designs, and the selected builder will be announced later this year. About one-third of the development is expected to remain open, he said.
Eventually, the community will also include about 200,000 square feet of commercial space, and over the next 20 years, Seeger expects 5,000 to 7,000 homes will be built. Seeger is meeting in the next few weeks with leaders at Trident Technical College to finalize plans for a new branch campus that will likely sit adjacent to a future technical high school within Summers Corner.
Trident Tech President Mary Thornley said MWV is providing about 100 acres of land within the development for the branch campus, which will include a library that will be shared by the high school and college students.
“We don’t have a major campus in Dorchester County. We have two locations, but they’re not major,” Thornley said. “This is a huge development, and we’re in a growing area. People are going to move somewhere. Where will they move? Berkeley and Dorchester. That’s the future.”
Summers Corner will also become the second community in the state to offer gigabit Internet service. MWV’s Nexton, a 4,500-acre community in Summerville, will be the first community to provide the broader bandwidth and speed.
Summers Corner is near MWV’s Pine Hill Business Campus, which opened in 2010 with 1,100 acres of land. One company — ArborGen Inc. — is currently working in the campus, but MWV is planning to construct a speculative building for a light-industrial user soon, according to Seeger. He expects more companies will move into the campus once families start buying homes in Summers Corner.
“We wanted to lead with job creation and later houses would come,” Seeger said. “It’s about finding a balance between jobs and housing with services in close proximity.”
