Larry W. Abernathy Waterfront Park — Attraction in Clemson

Oh when the sun beats down and burns the tar up on the roof And your shoes get so hot you wish your tired feet were fire proof Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be

(Under the boardwalk) out of the sun (Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun (Under the boardwalk) people walking above (Under the boardwalk) we'll be falling in love Under the boardwalk, boardwalk!

From the park you hear the happy sound of a carousel Mm-mm, you can almost taste the hot dogs and French fries they sell Under the boardwalk, down by the sea On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be

(Under the boardwalk) out of the sun (Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun (Under the boardwalk) people walking above (Under the boardwalk) we'll be making love Under the boardwalk, boardwalk!

Ooh, under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be

(Under the boardwalk) out of the sun (Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun (Under the boardwalk) people walking above (Under the boardwalk) we'll be falling in love Under the boardwalk, boardwalk!

This is an ideal place for a minute to step aside from a hectic life, regroup and redefine priorities. The nature, the woodland critters -- even the creepy-crawlers -- remind you that life doesn't have to be so chaotic. Sunsets on the beach, or swinging on one of the lakefront swings, is so beautiful it's hard to see where Heaven ends and...

Disgusting and embarrassing for the city of Clemson. My children and I came here for a picnic lunch and to walk the boardwalk trail. There was litter everywhere and the park just had the appearance of being old and uncared for. The bathrooms were absolutely horrifying, we could not use them as they stunk so bad and were so filthy. I figured Clemson would be a nice town considering its reputation with the University but no way will we be coming back to this gross place. It is such a shame that they have such a beautiful piece of property that is...
