Familiar with Lake Jocassee, SC?

Does anyone goto Lake Jocassee? I've lived here for going on 3 years and only been to Keowee. We decided we would try out Jocassee this weekend and was wondering where we should or shouldn't go. Thanks for any input.

JO JO where is this lake? Check your email in a few minutes.

Dude that looks nice. Some nice rentals too!!

What's up SC guys?!? A friend of mine told me about this place. A few hours drive up to KY, but this appears to be the ultimate wake vacation for this area. Full set ups, you tow your boat and jet ski out behind and rates are pretty good, considering you'll probably have a few families to split it.

I thought you had to go out west to find a good houseboat lake! This is our next vacation for sure!

you can go almost anywhere, since it is a flooded mountain valley. The narrowest coves (and i mean REALLY narrow) can be like 100ft deep still. It is an awesome trip. Jumping off the old corry wall is fun. you can see it near the dam. There is also an awesome water falls to hang out at and climb up. I want to say it is to the right but you may want to ask somone at the ramp. Hope yall have fun!

Thanks Adam, we are going first thing in the morning so we shall see if its as good as people say it is.

My brother and I tow our ski/wakeboard boats to Jocassee almost every June. He was there camping last week at Devils Fork State Park. I didn't go this time, because I took my 13 year old son to Shaun Murray wakeboard camp in Orlando. I told Shaun about the lake and the waterfalls and mentioned he should visit it sometime. I live 4 hours from the lake and we love it. It's a great place to boat, wakeboard and see the falls. The water is very clean and clear as well. I recommend anyone visit it at least once. Lake Keowee, nearby, is nice also.

David, Lake Keowee is my home lake. We are on it 3-5 times a week but on weekends you have to fight with the pontoons and fishermen and lets not forget the jetskis, just to find some good water. Jocassee is only a few extra minutes past where we put in on Keowee, we have just never gone. Thanks for the insight though. We were hoping to check it out this past weekend but didnt....hopefully later this week.

JoJo:

Definitely check out Jocassee. It doesn't have the homes built on it like Keowee does and not nearly as crowded. Once you go on it, you may not want to go back to Keowee. My brother was on it just this past weekend and said there were hardly any boats on it. Be sure to check out all the waterfalls while your on the lake. You'll be impressed. Tell me how you like it.
