Lake Juniper – Cheraw, South Carolina

Lake Juniper is a 300-acre lake in Cheraw that was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. The expansive lake is part of Cheraw State Park, which offers a championship golf course alongside well preserved wetlands. There are camping areas and cabins available, as well as many hiking trails.

SCIWAY visitor Steve Bilby of Cheraw says that he and his family “often go kayaking on Lake Juniper, and especially love to slowly meander though the cypress trees at the head of the lake. The beauty and tranquility is unsurpassed as nature’s bounty overflows at every turn.”
