Chapin is a small town approximately 20 miles Northwest of Columbia, South Carolina via I-26
West. The town is known by many as the "Capital of Lake Murray." The shores of this beautiful lake are only a few miles from Chapin. There, homeowners and visitors enjoy a lake of 40 miles in length with approximately 600 miles of shoreline.
