This lake is located near Columbia (the state capital). Monticello is owned and managed by the South Carolina Electric and Gas Company, who also own and manage Lake Murray, a 50,000 acre reservoir. Lake Monticello covers about 7,000 acres. The lake includes a 300 acre sub-impoundment area. That was designed for fishing, boating and swimming. Lake Monticello does not impound a river, but instead impounds a creek. It receives water from the Broad River. From Parr Reservoir, a nearby lake also owned by South Carolina Electric and Gas Company. Monticello is a great catfishing and crappie lake.
