Lake
Wateree is located on the Catawba River in north central South Carolina just off
I-77 approximately 30 miles north of Columbia and 20 miles south of Lancaster.
The Wateree River is a continuation of the
Catawba River, which flows from the
Blue Ridge Mountains in
North Carolina; the Catawba and Wateree are the same river
with different names assigned to sections of it. The name change
occurs at
Lake Wateree, which is formed by a
hydroelectric
dam
in
Kershaw County, South Carolina, about the point where
Wateree Creek empties into it. The Wateree flows generally
southward through Kershaw County and along the common boundary
of
Richland and
Sumter Counties, past the town of
Camden. It joins the
Congaree River to form the Santee River about 35 mi (55 km)
southeast of
Columbia.
