About This Access Site
Lawrence Bridge is a well-developed boat ramp providing access to the Seneca River arm of Lake Hartwell in Oconee County. The facility features a single concrete ramp suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats, with amenities including a boat dock, bank access, restrooms, and trash cans. A parking area accommodates 10+ vehicles. There is a launch fee of $5. The site is well-lit for early morning and evening launches.

This access point is ideal for paddlers and boaters exploring the scenic upper reaches of Lake Hartwell. The Seneca River section offers relatively calm, scenic paddling through one of the lake's most attractive areas. The site is part of the Hartwell Lake system and serves as a gateway for day trips along the Seneca, Keowee, and Little rivers. The park operates seasonally from April 1 through September 9, though the boat ramp itself operates year-round. Check current conditions and fees before visiting, as details may vary seasonally.
