Lake Russell Lake Lots, Home Sites, Homes and Lake Cottages
Far from the noise and hustle of the big cities and congested lakes is pristine Lake Russell. On it's shores is Savannah River Club. 325 Home sites anchor this private, gated residential community located in Hart County, Georgia, 90 minutes from Atlanta. Savannah River Club is an upscale primary and second home community with the look and feel of the expensive developments, but without the high price tag.
Lake Russell
Lake Russell is situated on the border between Georgia and South Carolina, right below Lake Hartwell. At 26,650 acres it is Georgia's fourth largest lake. Stretching 30 miles from the start below Lake Hartwell to the dam above Lake Strom Thurmond (Clarks Hill) with 540 miles of shoreline, you can spend years navigating the coves, creeks, main channel and islands without ever becoming bored.
Managed by the Corps of Engineers for wildlife preservation, it remains at or near full pool throughout the year. During the worst drought in Georgia's history last year, Lake Russell was down 2.5 feet versus Hartwell being down 14 feet, Lake Lanier down 19 feet and Lake Strom Thurmond down 12 feet.
There is very little boat traffic on Lake Russell making it excellent for no wake skiing and rowing. With little to no boating noise or congestion it is a pleasure to own a home on it's shoreline or go fishing in one of it's many creeks. Lake Russell's depth in front of Savannah River Club's lake lots average 35 feet.
Being managed for wildlife preservation, you will not find another lake more abundant in wildlife. There are more Ospreys per square mile on this lake in the Spring and Summer than any other lake in the nation. Fish species include an abundance of largemouth, spotted and striper bass, crappie, bluegill, shad, bream, carp and catfish. There are currently two marinas on Lake Russell, with a third, larger one being planned for the Richard B. Russell State Park in addition to the installation of a mega ramp.
