Trade Winds Marina is a little slice of paradise far from the maddening crowds, yet a pleasant two and one-half hour drive from downtown Atlanta and one-half hour from Augusta. Trade Winds is nestled on J. Strom Thurmond Lake, a marina boasting 206 acres of natural beauty framed by lush evergreens and is a boater's dream.

Lake Strom Thurmond, also known as Clarks Hill Lake in Georgia, is a man-made lake bordering Georgia and South Carolina on the Savannah, Broad, and Little Rivers.
