 Located along
the southwestern shore of Lake Jocassee, this park provides outdoor recreation
amid the beauty of the Blue Ridge at the Jocassee Gorges.
Lakefront camping, hiking and picnicking are among some of the favorite
activities, along with vacationing in the park's contemporary mountain villas.
The park provides access to the cool deep waters of the Jocassee, where anglers
try their luck for trout and other species, and boaters drive to remote islands
or sites of waterfalls spilling into the lake.
