Lake Oak Grove - Greenville County                                 About Lake Oak Grove  Lake Oak Grove is nestled in the Oak Grove community in Greenville South Carolina just a few miles off of I-385.  The lake covers 18 acres and is managed by the Greenville County Recreation Department.     This lake provides visitors a unique outdoor recreational facility.  There are two parking areas and a road around the entire lake.  The road is an oval shape that is 8/10th of a mile long with a 25 MPH speed limit. Visitors to the lake can drive, jog, walk, and roller skate around the entire lake.  Also, fishing and boating are allowed on Wednesdays and Saturdays until sunset.  The regulations for this lake are posted on a sign in the parking lots.    In 2001 this lake was drained down for repairs.  The riser (the vertical pipe used to control the discharge rate) was leaking and had to be repaired. So, the old riser was removed and a new one was installed.  Also, during this time, the  bottom of the lake was dredged, erosion control devices installed, and an island was created for waterfowl. The lake was refilled in 2002 and opened again for public use.  The photos on this page were taken on 12-24-09.  Size: 18 acres   Location: Greenville County  Depth Information:   24 feet Maximum Depth  (not official -estimation based on observation when lake was empty) Fish Species:  Bass, crappie, and catfish Nearby Roads:  Roper Mountain Road, I-385, Oak Grove Lake Rd.
