Santee State Park serves as headquarters for outdoor enthusiasts & nature lovers of all kinds from its ideal location near Interstates 95 & 26 on Lake Marion in the nationally known Santee Cooper Country.
The 2,500-acre park opened in 1949. Santee State Park is in Orangeburg County on the south shore of Lake Marion, one of the two Santee Cooper lakes (along with Lake Moultrie) that were created when more than 100,000 acres were flooded for electric power.
Lake Marion’s flooded forest is across from the park, just one of the natural attractions that make the area a national draw for anglers (landlocked striped bass fishing was born on the Santee Cooper lakes) & other sportsmen as well as bird watchers, swamp lovers & boaters under power & sail. |
