The wife and I are planning to tow the boat up to Clemson on May 29 for the weekend. Our son is a student at the University and he and his friends want to ski, wakeboard, etc.

Does anybody have any information about the boat launch at 12 mile?

Re: Lake Hartwell, SC/12 mile

I don't know about that launch, but I can tell you to avoid the one at the Marina at the first exit in Georgia. It was so steep I couldn't pull the boat up the ramp- honestly, we had to unhook it and get a 4WD guy to pull it up for us, and the boat was only a 4 Winns 17ft bowrider.

There is a campground just off mile 1 in SC and maybe a mile north that has pretty good facilities. We stayed there more than once, and really enjoyed being able to tie the boat up at our campsite each night.

Thanks, we're coming from the east (SC side).

For anyone interested: the 12 mile boat landing, recreation area is very nice, great ramp, parking, etc. It's in Clemson itself and very easy to access. The ramp is not steep at all. We used it this past Memorial Day weekend.
