Jocassee Lake Tours

❮ ❯

THE ONLY NATURALIST-LED TOURS OF LAKE JOCASSEE AND THE JOCASSEE GORGES. THE DIFFERENCE IS KNOWLEDGE, LOVE OF PLACE, PASSION.

You'll have to reassess what 'FUN' is after you try our River Adventure Tour! This is da BOMB for summertime activities on Lake Jocassee! Are you sure-footed, adventuresome, and a lover of cold mountain water? If so, this tour is for you! Rest up on a leisurely ride into the mouth of Lake Jocassee's bountiful rivers and creeks that are accessible only by boat. Once you arrive, you will embark on an exhilarating trek upstream on foot, deep into the most wild and wonderful places within the Jocassee Gorges. Let our experienced guides take you to the remote reaches of Whitewater River, Wright Creek Falls, Thompson River, Horsepasture River, Laurel Fork Falls, Toxaway River, and Sky Falls. While we cannot possibly get to all these places in one day, born is the reason to come back time and time again! The River Adventure Tour is a 6-hour, warm weather, in-and-out of the water excursion. It is a fun-filled, physical, thrilling day on Lake Jocassee, but not suitable for younger children.
