Lake Moultrie bass fishing and paddle boating
Locals on the waterfront can go for a swim and cast a line out from private docks. Whether biking by the lakeshore or reeling in a fresh catch, Lake Moultrie offers plenty of opportunities for locals enjoy the outdoors. This lake is the third largest in South Carolina, and springtime brings dozens of anglers looking to catch largemouth bass and other large fish. A canal runs from Lake Moultrie into Lake Marion, where locals cast lines out from the shore or head out in fishing boats. Kayakers and paddle boaters shove off from the paved boat launch at Spiers Landing Park, with miles of Lake Marion's shorelines and numerous islands to paddle around. Locals also shoot hoops on the park's basketball court and relax in picnic areas by the lakeshore. Small and big game hunting is also a frequent local activity, state hunting and seasonal guidelines permitting.
