Hartwell Dam Walking Trail Temporarily Closed

A walking trail at the Hartwell Dam is closed for the next couple of days.

The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Hartwell Project Office said that it closed the walking trail located above the South Carolina earthen embankment section of the dam beginning yesterday.

Corps officials said that the area, which is located in Anderson County, South Carolina, will be closed for routine maintenance activity.

They said that it is expected to re-open by this Friday, August 21.

According to Corps officials, visitors who are displaced during this period are encouraged to use the nearby walking trail located on the Georgia earthen embankment that can be accessed from Big Oaks Recreation Area in Hart County, Georgia.
