Never heard of it? That is because it is an undeveloped state park. It is one of the famous Carolina Bay Lakes located where there are already several state parks at bay lakes - Singletary State Park, a group state park, Jones Lake state park which encompasses two bay lakes and Lake Waccamaw State Park. Thus, this one will not likely be developed. It is a maze of sand roads which are frequented by 4 wheel drive vehicles and ATVs. The sand is difficult to walk on, so there is not much foot traffic here. I walked in to the lake which is about a mile from a sandy parking area off Rt 41.

Bay Lakes are shallow. The deepest one, Waccamaw has its deepest spot measured at 11 feet. They are very sandy but often the northwest side has a peat bank. The water acidity level limits the species of fish in the lake to just a few. That doesn't seem to deter fishermen. There were obvious signs of fishing spots, often little with fire rings and beer cans.
