COOL SEASON TOURS
Every tour of Lake Jocassee is uniquely special. We just never know what we’re going to see! It could be Oconee Bells blooming, or a bald eagle soaring overhead, or a white-tailed deer swimming across the lake. Some things, though, we can count on. WATERFALLS! Lake Jocassee has waterfalls galore. Enjoy fall’s color explosion, winter’s solitude and abundant waterbirds (starring the ethereal loon), and spring’s rebirth of nature. You’ll never know what to expect, and you’ll never be disappointed.
