🚤 Big News for Broadway Lake!

Exciting improvements are on the way to McFall’s Landing! Anderson County has received a $1,080,000 state legislative grant, sponsored by Senator Michael W. Gambrell, to make much-needed upgrades to this popular recreation spot on Broadway Lake!

The funding will support the reconstruction of aging water access facilities, including a new two-lane concrete boat ramp, ADA-accessible fishing dock and kayak launch, improved parking, shoreline stabilization, and enhanced greenspace.

Thanks to Senator Gambrell, the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism (SCPRT), and Anderson County Council for helping make these improvements possible!

🌊 We’re excited to see these improvements take shape and make Broadway Lake even more enjoyable and accessible for everyone!
