A community next to Lake Hartwell
Townville is an outdoor haven just north of the South Carolina-Georgia border. Lake Hartwell, to the east, is an open invitation to fish and boat off the shoreline. The unincorporated community, located in Upstate South Carolina, is primarily residential and agricultural. "Townville is kind of a farming area, so if you don't like the smell of cows, chickens and other things, that can be a detriment, but you will have more privacy," says Jeff Turpin, an Upstate native and Realtor with Real Local Real Broker LLC. "Here, you have a chance of not being so closed in. Some of the new houses are built on three-quarters of an acre, so they aren't right on top of each other."
Lake Hartwell is the largest body of water in Townville, SC.
Townville is a farming area with a variety of livestock.

Townville is a place for boating, fishing and camping
Broyles Recreation Area has lakefront access and a playground. Visitors often swim in the water; others catch bass, catfish and walleye in the man-made reservoir. Visitors gather to sunbathe or stroll on the sandy coastline during the warmer months. Locals also enjoy outdoor retreats close to home. Several boat ramps line Lake Hartwell's shoreline, including the Apple Island access point and Hattons Ford boat ramp. "We have lots of outdoor recreation and campgrounds are right in town," Turpin says. Camping sites are available at Coneross Park and Weldon Island Recreation Area. Turpin says locals are more likely to hunt on private lands, which requires permission from the property owner. The islands in the middle of the lake have public grounds for hunting that are only accessible by boat. However, locals should understand restrictions and ensure that the grounds are not private property before visiting.
Townville locals can visit the Weldon Island Recreational Area to relax.
