Lake Murray in South Carolina was created by what was, in 1930, the largest earthen dam in the world.
The construction crew was so large it built its own town to house the workers. That town — Irmo, South Carolina — still exists today.
Lake Lanier in Georgia draws over 11 million visitors a year and sits on top of a flooded town. When the water level drops in drought years, old foundations resurface from the bottom.
And Lake Hartwell? Its fall foliage rivals New England. Most people just haven't made the comparison yet.
The Southeast hides its best lakes in plain sight.
75,000+ waterfront homes. Zero guest fees.

Texas has no natural lakes.
Not one. Every major lake in the state was built by human hands. Over 200 of them.
Lake Texoma introduced striped bass in the 1960s — and the fish started reproducing naturally in freshwater, which striped bass almost never do. Texoma is one of the only lakes in the country where that happens.
Grand Lake o' the Cherokees in Oklahoma was created by Pensacola Dam — the longest multiple-arch dam in the world. Most people have never heard of it. The families who've been there go back every summer.
Big water in unexpected places. That's Texas and Oklahoma in a sentence.
75,000+ waterfront homes. Zero guest fees.

The Tennessee Valley Authority built 29 dams between 1933 and the 1970s, creating an entire chain of lakes across the South.
