Explore Lake Jocassee and its beautiful waterfalls with Jocassee Lake Tours!
Join Jocassee Lake Tours to explore the wilderness wonder of America’s most beautiful lake. Visit the many waterfalls that can only be seen by boat, and if it’s summer, you can even swim in them! Enjoy fall’s color explosion, winter’s solitude and abundant waterfalls, and spring’s rebirth of nature. Come and see why National Geographic declared Lake Jocassee and the Jocassee Gorges one of the World’s 50 Last Great Places!
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.
WARM SEASON TOURS
Warm season tours are all about fun, fun, fun! Join Jocassee Lake Tours for the ultimate summer day on Lake Jocassee.
