The cool, tea-colored waters at first appear similar to other lakes in the
area, but Lake Waccamaw is one of the most unique bodies of water in the world.
You will find here species of animals found nowhere else on the planet, rare
plants and endangered animals.
At Lake Waccamaw, you can view one of the greatest geological mysteries of the
eastern United States—the phenomenon of Carolina bays. Limestone bluffs along
the north shore neutralize Lake Waccamaw's water, making the lake different from
any other Carolina Bay. Nearby, you can catch a glimpse of a botanical
wonder—the Green Swamp.
From its sandy shorelines to its tree-lined natural areas, Lake Waccamaw offers
peaceful surroundings, an intriguing natural history and fun in the sun.
