About the wateree river


The Wateree River is a 75-mile-long river flowing through South Carolina, United States. It is formed by the convergence of the Catawba and Wateree rivers and flows into Lake Marion. The river was an important transportation route during the colonial period, and later, it was used to power textile mills. The Wateree Hydroelectric Station was built in 1919, and the Lake Wateree Dam was constructed in 1920. The lake created by the dam is a popular recreational destination for boating, fishing, and camping. The river plays a significant role in agriculture, providing irrigation for crops such as cotton, corn, soybeans, and peanuts. The Wateree River is also home to a diverse range of aquatic species, including bass, catfish, and crappie.
