The Shores of Asbury, a proposed disability-friendly outdoor park and treehouse resort, has been touted as a Lake Hartwell tourism boon by Anderson County officials, but new developments with the project have drawn ire from local residents.
According to Karen McCullough, founder of the project and president of the Lake Hartwell Development Group, rain delays, utility setbacks and ongoing arborist work from the Army Corps of Engineers has pushed the expected completion date back eight months.
McCullough and Anderson County officials broke ground on the park late last year with plans to launch construction in the spring of this year, starting with amenities used to support a floating water park on Lake Hartwell. Later phases would expand park capacity to 150 guests with tiny house cabins, a yurt village, Americans With Disabilities Act-accessible treehouses, a restaurant and events venue.
