Lake Russell Lake Level - US Corps of Engineers
Lake Russell is one of three lakes on the Savannah River between South Carolina and Georgia owned and managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Construction of Lake Russell was completed in 1984 when the lake reached full pool and became South Carolina's newest lake.
Lake Richard B. Russell is located on the Savannah River between two other Army Corps lakes: Lake Hartwell and Lake Thurmond. Because Lake Russell sits between these two lakes, the water level does not drop as severe as lake levels on Hartwell and Thurmond do during times of drought. The lake level on Lake Russell has a range of about 3 to 5 feet below full pool elevation. Lakes Hartwell and Thurmond can get as low as 15-18 feet below full pool.
Lake Russell is a little different than its other sister lakes Lake Hartwell and Lake Thurmond, because it has very little development on its shoreline. There are houses nearby, but most of them are totally out of site from the lake. When you visit Lake Russell you will feel like you are in the wilderness.
