Hartwell Dam Tailwater Access
Hartwell Dam Tailwater Access
Located at the foot of Hartwell Dam on the Georgia side, this tailwater access area features the Georgia River Recreation Area with free parking, picnic facilities, public restrooms, and a free fishing pier open to the public.
The area provides shore-based access to the Savannah River tailwater below the dam, with a buoy line marking the first quarter-mile; anglers should note the loud horn warning system that alerts to rapid water level changes during power generation releases.
