As the Capital of Lake Murray, Chapinites enjoy their time on this beautiful lake with more than 500 miles of shoreline. Swimming, water skiing, sailing, and fishing are all popular with area residents and visitors alike. And with our temperate climate, many enjoy the lake and its amenities year-round.

There are a number of marinas and boat ramps located around the lake as well as restaurants, campgrounds, and bait and tackle shops to help you prepare for a fun day on the water.

If watching spectacular sunsets is more your style, check out one of two area boat cruises to take in the sights, especially the annual summer visit of thousands of purple martins who fill the skies before landing on Bomb Island for their evening rest.
