The Santee Lakes have been a big part of my family for a long time! These lakes offer alot to a family. As you enter the park there is a beautiful lake fully stocked with fish, there is a water park for the kids to splash and play in ($4 wrist band), Picnic tables every where, and a clean and modern play ground.
There are four lakes in this park (that I can remember) and each one has its own picninc area and plyaground. The third lake has an Island and peddle boats to travel around the lake. And, If your kids love ducks this will be pure heaven for them! I know my daughter just cannot get enough!
One great thing to know about this place is every Christmas and Easter they have a massive festival complete with Games, Rides, Characters and Snow/Easter Eggs (respectively).
