JLT KAYAK AND RIVER ADVENTURES
KAYAK TOURS: April 6th through Mid October
Welcome to the finest freshwater & flatwater paddling destination in the Southeast.
Learn about wildflowers, bird life, geology, and the history of Lake Jocassee while enjoying your day on the water. Using our pontoon boat to pull the kayaks from one paddling destination to another, we do some leisurely paddling, swim a bit, and enjoy lunch in beautiful surroundings. Our kayak tours are designed to be easy on the body and nourishing to the spirit. Tour time is from 10 AM to 4 PM. Paddle time is about 3 hours. JLT offers the finest in rental kayaks or bring your own!
$115 per person, includes kayak. Private kayak tours: $115 per person, minimum $595.

RIVER ADVENTURE TOURS: June through Labor Day
This is it. This is what you’ve been waiting for. Travel the world if you want, but exhilarating, eye-poppingly beautiful outdoor adventure is right here. The wildest, most awesome places within the Jocassee Gorges are reachable, and only reachable, by boat on Lake Jocassee. Join us for a rock-hopping exploration of the remote reaches of Whitewater River and Falls, Wright Creek Falls, Thompson River and Falls, Horsepasture River, Laurel Fork Falls, and the Toxaway River. We can’t get to all these places in one day, of course, so we offer both lower lake and upper lake outings. Adventure Tours are warm weather, in-and-out of the water activities, as we creek-hike our way into the most remote places you’ll see in this part of the world. It’s a physically challenging (and thrilling!) day, and therefore limited strictly to the young at heart.
