Fishing at Cedar Lake, Greenwood County, South Carolina

• Overview

  Greenwood County, South Carolina, is where Cedar Lake sits. Elevation runs to 607 feet. The water measures roughly 10 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is a small entry by Greenwood County standards. Greenwood is the closest town at 1.2 miles. It is 67 miles to Columbia, the nearest city. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Cedar Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. At Cedar Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes. A quiet corner out of the wind can hold everything.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 79°F in July and bottoms out near 42°F in January. Summer heat is the limit here, not winter cold. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. That is the shape of the year on Cedar Lake. Water temperature lags the air by a week or so.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Public data has parking about half a mile from the shore. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. If the gate is shut, Lake Chinquapin at 2.9 miles is the nearest alternative. Treat Cedar Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
