JLT KAYAK AND RIVER ADVENTURES
KAYAK TOURS: MID MAY through MID OCTOBER
Welcome to the finest freshwater, flatwater paddling & river playground destination in the Southeast.
Guided kayak tours are led by Brooks Wade, JLT co-owner and Upstate South Carolina Master Naturalist. 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 enjoy lunch on the boat, swim a bit and do some leisurely paddling. 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! !

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, deep-in- the-wilderness, eye-poppingly beautiful outdoor adventure is right here, right in our back yard. The wildest, most awesome places within the Jocassee Gorges are reachable, and only reachable, by boat on Lake Jocassee. Join us to explore the remote reaches of Whitewater River and Falls, Wright Creek Falls, Thompson River and Falls, Horsepasture River, Laurel Fork Falls, Toxaway River, and Sky Falls. 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 ever see in this part of the world. It’s a physical (and thrilling!) day, and therefore limited strictly to the young at heart.
