Make the Most of Your Santee Stay

Cultural attractions and outdoor recreation

Santee exists because of Lake Marion, South Carolina's largest reservoir, created during the New Deal as part of the Santee Cooper hydroelectric project. This 110,000-acre lake defines the town's identity, drawing anglers pursuing world-record catfish and striped bass alongside golfers who appreciate the area's well-maintained courses. Santee State Park offers pier-based cabins extending over the water and trails through flooded cypress forests, while Santee National Wildlife Refuge protects the historic Fort Watson site atop an ancient Santee Indian ceremonial mound captured during the Revolutionary War.

Business travel and dining

The commercial center along the I-95 corridor provides straightforward access for corporate travelers, with the Santee Conference Center and business-class hotels clustered near Exit 98. Golf courses like Santee Cooper Country Club serve as popular venues for client entertainment. Clark's Inn & Restaurant has welcomed travelers since 1946 with aged steaks and Southern hospitality, representing the town's appeal as a convenient stopover between the Northeast and Florida.

Strategic location

Positioned an hour from both Charleston and Columbia, Santee functions as a practical base for exploring the region. The town's location makes it an efficient hub for day trips to coastal beaches or Revolutionary War heritage sites throughout Clarendon County.
