Most People Don’t Realize South Carolina Has An Inland Sea And It’s Truly Beautiful
When it comes to outdoor recreation, South Carolina pretty much has it all. In under four hours you can four-wheel your way off a mountain in the upstate and be on a beach somewhere on the other side of the state. But did you know the Palmetto State has an “inland sea?” If not, then don’t feel bad, because you’re not alone.

It may not be as large as Lake Superior, or Lake Huron, or Lake Michigan, but South Carolina's Lake Marion is indeed known as the "inland sea."
This resulted in many stumps and trees just under the surface. Some, especially cypress, actually thrive in the lake waters, making this "inland sea" even more stunning.
And the fishermen? They love all the natural habitats provided by the erroneously early flooding that occurred here nearly 75 years ago when the earthen Santee Dam was closed off too soon.
