The one nearest Tugaloo State Park is Lighthouse marina (near the I-85
bridge) They are at $2.79 . That is real close ot our place on Gumlog
creek. I fact I can see Tugaloo State park from my dock.

I hope I find myself wandering down by the dam when it comes fill-up
time again :-) Hartwell marina is by Hart State park in Hartwell Ga.

Have a friend that just sold a place in Fair Play, SC, and moved over
to the GA side quite close to there, he's having a new dock put in,
real nice house.

Do you ever go over to "The Island"? Met a lot of interesting folks
there the last time I was there.

This is our first year with a place on Hartwell. We had camped out at
some of the state parks before we got our little "weekender" So we know
we liked the lake and fled Lanier. We use to keep the boat on the
trailer at Starboard Marina.

Anyway I am not sure where "The Island" is. There are a bunch of them as
I am sure you already know. I have not noticed any specific gathering
places. But them again we are just beginning to really get the feel of
this area.

We are finding lots of good food in the area. The T60 and Gumlog BBQ are
both excellent.

"The Island" is between Lighthouse Marina and I-85, you'll usually see
boats pulled up to it, it on the side of it. If you were leaving
Lighthouse, going toward I85 bridge, it would be on the left. The
people that hang there are very friendly, always cooking something,
etc. Nice natural sand beach to pull the boat up on, swim, relax.

We are finding lots of good food in the area. The T60 and Gumlog BBQ are
both excellent.

I'm a bbq fanatic, and will certainly check them out. Where abouts are
they? By the way, we go to Hendersonville, NC alot, and I often take
the Cherokee Scenic Highway, which is S.C. state route 11. You cross
Lake Keowee, absolutely beautiful. Oh, and the fireworks shop at the
Fair Play exit can't be beat!

Found it this weekend! Lighthouse is really HarborLight (my mistake)
They now have facilities on both sides of 85. We went toward the dam
(south of 85) and saw a large island with alot of boats and sandy
beaches. Figure that must be it :-)

I have never been to the T60 by land, but I think you take one of the
FairPlay exits to get there. I will get back to you on that.

Gumlog bbq is on ga 328 Basically you can follow the way to Tugaloo
state park to get to 328. I don't know the names of all the roads. But
here is the best I can do. From Atlanta take the hwy17 exit. Make a
left over the hwy 85 bridge Them the first right by the Hardees. You
will go over some RailRoad tracks and in less then a mile end up at a
four way stop. go righ and this road follows 85, it only goes for about
3-4 mile and it dead ends at 328. (you will see a whole bunch of signs
for local business and a bridge that goes over 85 to the right)
Go left here and after about 4 miles you will go over "Gumlog Creek"
bridge. There will be signs for Gumlog bbq on the left.

This place is only open on Thus threw Sunday. They sell pulled bbq by
the plate or by the pound. Ribs catfish and some very good pies.

We will be back there next weekend unless the weather looks bad

If you were heading toward NC after going there you can cross 85 and
328. Make the first left and that road will end at another hwy at a
slant. Make a left and you are following 85 going north. At the next
stop sign go righ and yoy will be at the exit were "Big Daddys" fuel
stop and restaurant is on 85.

Sorry those directions are not better, I guess i just know where I am
going and how to get there :-)

I will see if I can get you some address and phone numbers.

This web site mentions the place (sort of)

http://www.usacitiesonline.com/gacountygumlog.htm

The Gumlog area was once known for its beverages which is where the
motto, Land of Spirits, came from. It is now better known for bar-b-que
served Thursday - Sunday at a local restaurant called Gum Log Bar-B-Que

I like the "Land of Spirits" motto. It is in reference to the moonshine
that area was once known for..
