About Tugaloo State Park
Tugaloo State Park sits on a wooded 393-acre peninsula on Lake Hartwell north of Lavonia, with lake views from most of its cottages and campsites. People come to boat, fish for largemouth bass year-round, relax on the sand beach and hike the Sassafras and Muscadine trails.
The designated swimming area is out of reach while lake levels are low, but the beach is open.
