We stopped in the state park at Lake Jocassee and were amazed by the crystal blue waters. The park ranger was super friendly and told us about several waterfalls that are accessible by water. We plan to return in the summer to check them out!

I'm a South Carolina native, but I've traveled extensively and can tell you that this is one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. Located near the South and North Carolina border and nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, this famous clean and pristine lake has six amazing waterfalls and blue-green waters and is one of the most picturesque lakes imaginable. This clear lake attracts visitors from everywhere and is located in the Devil’s Fork State Park. Its reservoir is over 300 feet deep with a cemetery at the bottom of the lake. The best way to see this lake is by boat – it may be a little too large see with a kayak unless you have a few days. Be sure and make a ramp reservations in advance if you’d like to visit with your own boat because it gets busy quick.

I was on the Jocassee boat tour Saturday July 11, 2023 with Jennifer. Jennifer was fantastic as a guide. She had lots of knowledge about the history of the lake and surrounding , flora & fauna. She was very accommodating to those that wanted to swim and explore. I would go on another tour with her in a minute.
