The Lake Hartwell Dam, located on the border of Georgia and South Carolina, is the largest of these dams and helps regulate the flow of water downstream. Other notable dams along the river include the Parr Reservoir Dam and the Monticello Reservoir Dam.
Recreational activities along the Broad River include kayaking, fishing, and camping. The river also plays an important role in agriculture, providing water for crops such as cotton and soybeans.
