The City of Hartsville’s Prestwood Lake boat ramp and fishing dock on Sonovista Drive will close for a six-month period beginning Wednesday, Jan. 30, and continuing until Aug. 31.
As Sonoco widens and repairs Sonovista Drive, which passes alongside an under-construction Sonoco facility before ending at the City of Hartsville’s boat ramp, the company will also provide physical improvements to the lakefront public facilities for fishers and boaters. The existing gravel parking lot will be paved and expanded, and the aging boat ramp and dock will be repaired.
While the lakefront facilities close down for the construction and upgrade, no public boat ramps will be available on Prestwood Lake. Public waterfront access for fishing, canoeing and kayaking will remain available at the City of Hartsville’s Lawton Park, located at 716 Prestwood Drive, but the park has no launch site for larger craft.
