About Lake Murray
Lake Murray was created in the 1930s by damming the Saluda River, and today it is one of the largest man-made lakes in South Carolina. Its shoreline is wooded with pines and hardwoods and dotted with coves, marinas and lakeside homes. The lake sits in the Piedmont region, where rolling hills meet the broader coastal plain to the southeast. It is a popular place for boating, fishing and quiet weekends by the water.
What to watch on the camera
The camera is focused on the nature of the lake, and its title points to ospreys, large fish-eating hawks that nest near open water. Depending on the view, you may see birds perched on platforms or circling over the water. Mornings and late afternoons usually bring the most activity, when birds hunt and the light is soft. Spring and early summer are often the most lively seasons for nesting birds.
Climate and getting around
South Carolina has a humid subtropical climate, with hot summers and mild winters. Spring and autumn are generally the most comfortable times to be outdoors by the lake. Columbia Metropolitan Airport is about 37 km from the camera, and nearby cameras in Augusta, Spartanburg and Waxhaw offer other views of the region.
