The Thurmond Lake Sail and Power Squadron looks forward to having D26 enjoy a
weekend on Lake Thurmond and visiting the surrounding area. We want you to mark
your calendars for the weekend after Mother’s Day and plan to spend three days at the
Cruise and Rendezvous.
We will be operating out of the recently renovated Savannah Lakes Resort and Marina
located on the lake just off US 378 in McCormick County. There are motel rooms and
two-bedroom townhouses blocked for us. We will have our Friday afternoon and
Saturday morning activities here. This facility has putt-putt golf, a swimming pool,
marina, a beach on the lake and tennis courts. Also we have blocked rooms at Hickory
Knob State Resort Park, which is also on the lake, about a 3-mile drive from Savannah
Lakes Resort. Hickory Knob has a fine restaurant, pool, a golf course, tennis courts and
rooms either pool-side or lake-side. There are two golf courses in the nearby Savannah
Lakes Village. We also have Soap Creek Marina off US 378 on the Georgia side that is
available to us.
