Description
Lake Russell is located on the South Carolina, Georgia state line. In 1983 construction on the 210' Savannah River Dam was completed, in 1984 the lake reached full pond. Lake Russell covers 26,650 acres and 194 miles of shoreline.
Lake Russell is a conservation lake, this means it will remain wild and undeveloped. Federal regulation prohibits private shoreline development, and the lake is protected by a 300 ft. collar of protected land.
The photo here was taken on February 2, 2015. All day long we had a thin layer of clouds and I knew if they hung around until 7 PM we would have an awesome sunset. The weather forecast sunny skies. 0 percent cloud cover. I had to go with my gut on this. I got my gear, jumped in the car and drove the 1.5 hours to Lake Russell, hoping that they were experiencing that same thin layer of clouds. They were and here are the results. Sometimes it is more than luck.
