What would you like to do?

Lake country, lived fully

The best kind of day is yours to choose.

At Savannah Lakes Village, community is not a single clubhouse or a single activity. It is a trail through the pines, an unhurried paddle, a round with friends, a visit to the farmers market and a table you come back to. Our exclusive real-estate and development partnership with the Property Owners Association connects that established lifestyle with a thoughtful vision for what comes next.

Go where the day takes you.

These are existing regional experiences, not future Savannah Lakes Village facilities. Access, operating hours, rental inventory and trail conditions are set by the relevant operators.

Wooded trail in the Savannah Lakes region
On the trail

Hike. Ride. Repeat.

Hickory Knob State Resort Park has a linked system of hiking and biking trails through pine woods near the lake, with shorter routes and longer outings. Baker Creek State Park is known for its ten-mile mountain-bike loop, but the park currently reports all trails closed due to logging and storm impacts. Check park notices before planning a ride; do not treat Baker Creek's trails as open today.

Paddle a new perspective.

Hickory Knob lists kayak, canoe and paddleboard rentals on a first-come basis. Lake Thurmond also offers boating and fishing through existing regional access points; ask about water conditions, safety and seasonal availability before going out.

Boats & rentals

Take the long way around.

For powered-boat time on the wider lake, Keg Creek Water Sports advertises pontoon and other rentals from Wildwood Park, outside the village. It is an independent regional provider, not a Savannah Lakes Village amenity. Confirm current reservations, location and requirements directly before making plans.

Make time for each other.

The POA's established facilities make it easy to meet for a swim, a court game, a workout or a round of golf. The River Grille at Tara, Monti's at Monticello and the Village Café belong to today's community dining story, separate from the proposed Dockside and tiki concepts.

Keep a local ritual.

Downtown McCormick offers everyday shops and a supermarket. The seasonal McCormick Farmers Market is listed at 1319 South Main Street by South Carolina's Department of Agriculture. Nearby towns add more restaurant and shopping options. Verify dates, vendors, hours and individual businesses before visiting.

Future development / illustrative concept

Now imagine what comes next.

Our next chapter is about making the space between home, lake and neighbors feel even more connected. These are proposed experiences, not currently operating businesses, bookable venues or approved construction plans.

Proposed community center · original illustrative architectural concept
01 / Waterfront dining

Dockside.

A proposed relaxed waterfront dining destination where a lake day could naturally become an evening around the table.

02 / Open-air energy

Sport & Tiki.

A proposed place for casual food, screens, conversation and lake-country evenings, with the shoreline atmosphere at its heart.

03 / Morning ritual

Coffee bar.

A coffee counter imagined as the easy place to start the day, pause after a walk or meet a new neighbor.

04 / A familiar favorite

Pizza.

An approachable neighborhood pizza concept for family nights, post-game gatherings and the uncomplicated meal everyone agrees on.

05 / Daily discovery

Shops & market.

Small-scale retail and market-style offerings could bring convenient essentials, local character and reasons to linger close to home.

06 / Time for yourself

Salons & services.

Personal-care services are envisioned as part of the future center's everyday mix, with tenants, offerings and operations still to be determined.

The future is best discovered here.

Come see today's lake, trails, golf and community life for yourself. Then ask our team about the longer-term development vision. We'll help you separate what is already here from what is still being designed.
