Broadway Lake is a 300-acre reservoir located in Anderson County, South Carolina. The primary access point for paddlers is McFalls Landing, which features a public boat ramp, swimming area, and parking facilities. A $2 per boat launch fee applies.

The lake is formed by the impoundment of several waterways including Broadway Creek, Cupboard Creek, Pea Creek, and Neal's Creek. With a maximum depth of 22.1 feet and mean depth of 5.9 feet, the lake provides relatively protected waters suitable for paddling. The dam's discharge flows into the Rocky River, which continues to Lake Secession.

Popular fish species include largemouth bass, crappie, bream, and catfish, making the lake an attractive destination for kayak anglers. The shoreline is characterized by a mix of forested areas and residential development, creating a backdrop that balances natural scenery with lakeside community charm.

The lake's modest size makes it manageable for day trips, though paddlers should be aware that motorized boats also use these waters. The park at McFalls Landing includes picnic areas along the shoreline, allowing paddlers to take breaks and enjoy lakeside meals.

Anderson County maintains ownership and management of the lake. Its location just south of the city of Anderson makes it readily accessible while still providing opportunities for peaceful paddling. To reach the lake, take Highway 28 from Anderson toward Antreville and turn left at the Flatrock intersection.

The lake's clear waters and protected coves offer opportunities for both beginner paddlers seeking calm conditions and more experienced kayakers looking to explore the various creek arms and inlets. Swimming is permitted, allowing paddlers to cool off during warm weather outings.
