NOTICE: Lake Hartwell is about 9 feet down due to drought. The swimming beach is closed and may not open this summer. The day-use boat ramp is open; however, the campground ramp is closed.

Boating, water skiing and fishing at Lake Hartwell are prime reasons to visit Hart State Park in northeast Georgia. Large mouth bass, hybrid bass, striper, black crappie, bream, rainbow trout and wall-eyed pike can be found in the sparkling waters of this 55,590-acre reservoir. The park's boat ramps and docks offer easy access to all water sports. Cottages and most campsites are located on the scenic lake shore.


Park Hours: 7AM-10PM
Office Hours: 8AM-5PM
