Dreher Island is part of the state park that includes three islands. Together, they cover 348 acres and offer access to almost 12 miles of shoreline on Lake Murray. The park is located about 30 miles from the state's capital, Columbia. The lake is a reservoir of the Saluda River, created as a result of building the Dreher Shals Dam. Dreher Island is covered by dense woods and is a popular destination for tourists who love to explore its hiking trails and fishermen looking for large-mouth bass in addition to boaters and campers. The only access to the island is a bridge located on its north side.
