The Milltown Campground boat ramp provides easy access to the expansive waters of Lake Hartwell, a popular 55,590-acre reservoir on the Savannah River. This access site is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats looking to explore the lake.
The boat ramp itself is located in a scenic, wooded setting along Reed Creek, a short distance from the Hartwell Dam. Paddlers and boaters will find a paved ramp, alongside a courtesy dock for loading and unloading. The lake's calm waters and abundant coves make it an excellent destination for a peaceful paddle or relaxing day of fishing. Nearby, the Milltown Campground offers campsites, picnic areas, and other recreational amenities for visitors.
For those seeking a larger boating experience, the lake's full-service marinas provide fuel, supplies, and additional boat launching options. Hartwell Lake is known for its excellent bass and crappie fishing, so anglers may want to bring their gear. Paddlers should be aware of potential boat traffic, particularly in high-use areas, and always wear a life jacket for safety.
