Lake Marion is the largest lake in South Carolina, (33rd largest in US),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.
The project also included the construction of the Pinopolis Dam (Cooper River Dam) to create Lake Moultrie, (53rd largest in US, 94 sq mi), immediately downstream, and a diversion canal seven and a half miles long to connect the two.[
