Anyone on Lake Marion, SC?

[McMark]

The mrs was surfing Zillow and found a lake house that she loves. Can anyone tell me about the area? Any reasons not to move onto Lake Marion?

Check for boat houses and docks. I know Lake Murray does not allow boat houses.

The house the mrs found has a boat house with a lift and a dock. It even comes with a boat. Lol

Since I don't fish, I wouldn't take a free house on Lake Marion. Even though the lake is very large it is unfortunately very shallow, lots of stumps just below the waterline and lots of debris floating. When a lake that big has a marked boating channel you know something is up.

If you like to fish from what I hear the lake is very good for fishing.

One of our Charleston runs started in lake Marion and a couple of boats ran into debris floating, luckily no damage. Now for our Charleston runs we will never boat in lake Marion.

Sorry for being a Debbie downer.

This is exactly the information I’m looking for. I’ll pass on it. Thanks Andy! Definitely not interested in a debris filled lake.
