Greenwood is the hub of a seven county region, all of which make up South Carolinas freshwater coast where both small and large lakes are within a short drive from most any part of the area. While each area offers its own unique events, attractions, and historic sites, you will find the region features consistent Southern hospitality and charm no matter where you might visit.

Greenwood's own Lake Greenwood is just a few miles from the city limits of Greenwood and has recently become a desirable place to live, work, and play. A wide range of communities are being established near the lake alongside many well-established areas as well.

The South is blessed with beautiful lakes, and more are being artificially created each year. But truth be told, you'll discover certain attributes at Lake Greenwood difficult, if not impossible, to duplicate. First, there's the size: 11,000 acres. And then there's the shoreline, at more than 200 miles. There is fishing: perch, crappie, bream, catfish, and more than 250,000 striped bass stocked annually. And let's not forget about the boating: motoring, canoeing, kayaking, water skiing and sailing. Unlike Army Corps of Engineer lakes, Lake Greenwood's water levels are kept very stable and owners have far greater freedom in building on their waterfront property. The lake is lined with tall trees, and has somehow been spared of the crowds plaguing other lakes in the state.

It is here, in this picturesque and tranquil setting, that the Grand Harbor communities are located.
