Annual Events
At the lake, you will find plenty of room for everything you love to do on the water, from sailing, jet skiing, and water skiing to canoeing and kayaking. Lake Greenwood State Park is available for use by all residents and is known locally as the host site for the South Carolina Festival of Flowers Triathlon held each June. In addition to hosting the annual triathlon, the park provides year-round opportunities for excellent South Carolina Bass fishing, boating, camping, and hiking.
Lake Greenwood celebrates Independence Day by having its annual signature event, Lights on the Lake with fireworks, concerts, and vendors.
There are also various fishing tournaments, boat and kayak events, boat shows, and clinics

Yard Waste Collection:
Greenwood County Public Works have agreed to pick up yard waste in Newport. We will be on the same schedule as Stoney Point. Yard waste (limbs, sticks, bagged leaves) should be piled in front of your property on the last Sunday of the month, and they will pick the yard waste up sometime during that week. Vacant lots will not receive pick up service. See Yard Waste Pickup document on the Documents page under the POA Documents section.
Boardwalk Update:
Work continues on the boardwalk. As we wait for completion, please be careful in the area and do not walk on any of the materials / repairs.
Newport Flag Program:
The flag program is up and running! This allows Newport an opportunity to show their pride and patriotism by displaying the American Flag in front of our homes and property on 5 holidays per year (Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Veterans Day).
The flag program is also a way for Newport to support local charities. This year Newport made three separate donations of $550 to Tranquility Point, the Pathway House, and to the Humane Society.
