Broadway Lake is a friendly 300-acre lake in the rolling country of Anderson County, a longtime local favorite for boating, swimming and fishing. It is shallow — averaging only about 6 feet with a maximum near 22 — which warms it early and makes for lively spring fishing.
Anglers do well on largemouth bass, crappie, bream and catfish, working the docks, brush and the lake’s many fingers. A lakeside park provides a public boat ramp, picnic space and a place to swim, and the wooded shoreline supports a steady market of lake homes for those who want to stay.
Broadway lake is a small 300 Acre lake located in Anderson County. It has one park with a boat ramp and swimming area.

Fishing, swimming and boating are the things that make a lake fun, and Broadway Lake has all this. Although small, this lake really provides a lot of fun for the people in Anderson County. There is park on the shoreline with a boat ramp, a nice swimming area, and plenty of parking.
Broadway Lake impounds the following creeks: Broadway Creek, Cupboard Creek, Pea Creek, and Neal’s Creek. The discharge from the dam flows into the Rocky River which flows into Lake Secession. Anderson County owns the lake.
An aritcle written by Mike Ellis dated May 16, 2009 on the website www.independentmail.com states that the floodgates on the Broadway Lake dam were damaged during a March rainstorm. So the lake has lost a great deal of water and may not be suitable for lake recreation.
