Chapin is home to some spectacular lakefront vacation rentals of cottages and large log cabins spread over acres of land with lakeside docks. Enjoy boating and try Lake Murray’s famous fishing for its abundant variety of bass. There are many parks nearby to enjoy a picnic such as Chapin Park, Crooked Creek Park or Dreher Island State Park that lies on the shores with a marina and holds fishing tournaments as well! Golfing is bliss with many golf courses in the area; Timberlake Plantation Golf Course enjoys mesmerizing lake views. You could also drive down to the nearby state capital and metropolitan city of Columbia.
Downtown is within walking distance and has plenty of shops for shopping gifts or antiques; try Beaufort Street besides other shopping centers. There are a lot of restaurants and dining options, too. A small town yet loaded with all amenities and recreations but minus the hustling crowd; indeed, a holiday in one of the Chapin vacation rentals will certainly entail tranquility and peace.
