Spring is in the air which means summer is around the corner and that can only mean one thing, it’s time to get back on Lake Harwell, the boating and summer leisure capital of South Carolina.

At Master Docks we know how important your life on the water is and that’s one of the reasons why we have dedicated so much of our work to our floating dock fabrication and installation. Lake Hartwell is one of our specialties with over 1,000 miles of shoreline to work with.

This time of year is the perfect opportunity to get a head start on your summer fun by installing a new floating covered dock. We have the experience and knowledge to help you make the best decision for your needs and here are some of the reasons why Lake Hartwell is such a great location for a floating dock.

1. The first reason is the weather. Lake Hartwell is located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and because of that, it enjoys a moderate climate year-round. The summers are hot but not as oppressive as they can be in other parts of the country and the winters are mild with little to no snow. That means you can enjoy your dock year-round!
2. The second reason is the water level. Lake Hartwell does not drain the lake in the wintertime which means your dock won’t go dry with the seasons as it can in other places. They also allow you to “chase the water” when the lake level goes up and down.
3. The third reason is the scenery. Lake Hartwell is one of the most beautiful lakes in the country and it’s surrounded by the Appalachian Mountains which make for some stunning scenery.
4. The fourth reason is the amenities. Lake Hartwell has everything from swimming and fishing to boating and water skiing. There’s something for everyone on Lake Hartwell and a covered floating dock is a perfect way to take advantage of all it has to offer.
