Lake Life is Better at Angler's Retreat at Lakes Russell and Strom Thurmond!

Bring your boat, water toys and all your fishing gear and choose which lake to visit each day.

The property features a fish cleaning station on site and even a chest freezer to preserve all the meat you catch/hunt while you stay!

Fishing Trip
Was a great location for fishing. Bathroom could have been a little cleaner and faucet at bathroom sink needed more pressure.
