    This park is absolutely gorgeous! Way more to do in the summer for sure.
    We took the Oconee Bells Nature Trail. Very easy and pretty short. Since it was March not much was in bloom but the famous Oconee bells! I am so happy I got to see them. They are absolutely beautiful.

    What a Treat! It was a great day to paddle kayaks...mid 70's and sunny in the afternoon. I had paddled parts of Jocassee on my own previously, but this method allowed me (@ 70 years old) to get further up the lake than ever before. In fact, all the way to the mouth of the Thompson River. It is just so prestine! We saw lots of Monarch butterflies, who, as our very knowledgeable guide David pointed out, are about to head south to Mexico to winter. We also saw an otter, a water snake, several kingfisher, and many species of plants that are special to that particular area. Overall, a very relaxing day with some great folks! I will do it again I'm sure!

    Rented 2 single kayaks online but as it was quite breezy when we arrived asked if we could switch to a double - no problem. Helpful, prompt service, well cared for equipment. Good size dry bag for our picnic and towels provided free ( they also had smaller ones for valuables you could wear around your neck). We paddled for about 90 mins . Picnicked and swum in our own little cove ( beautiful clear water but not much beach as lake level high when we went) . Great for energetic adults/ tweens and up.
