Clarks Hill Lake. My Favorite!

Although I have not had the opportunity to visit many lakes in my lifetime, I have spent a significant amount of time at the lake in my hometown, Clarks Hill Lake. Every summer we used to go with friends or family to sunbathe, picnic, or swim. When we had the time to make a day out of it, we would take the boat out and tube until our arms fell off!  Another popular summer activity  was tying up under the Little River Bridge during the evenings and fishing and eating pimento cheese sandwiches until the boat rocking made us nauseous (They say there are catfish as big as Volkswagens under there!). By far my favorite though, was the whole family taking their RVs to the lake campground every Thanksgiving and riding bikes through the trails, sitting around a campfire, playing with all the younger cousins, and (sort of) enjoying the almost annual low country boil! My childhood wouldn't have been the same without Clarks Hill!
