We are going to be hiking at Devil's Fork State Park on Lake Jocassee. There are two relatively short hikes here totaling 3.5 miles, one of which borders the lake. I thought we could have a picnic lunch after we finish these two short hikes and enjoy the beautiful view of the lake. Our next stop will be Oconee Station State Historic Site where we will do the short loop trail around the lake and take the spur trail off to Station Cove Falls. This is a 3 mile easy hike. There are two historic structures at Oconee Station which are open to the public on Sunday afternoon for tours for those who would like to see them and if we have time. Travel time is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.
Fee: $2.00 per person at Devil's Fort State Park Suggested Gratuity: $5.00 per person (for vehicle gas)
ALWAYS BRING WATER AND SOMETHING TO EAT.
Everyone meet in the back parking area of Ryan's Family Steak House 6124 White Horse Rd. at 8:45 am to arrange vehicles. We'll leave at 9:00 am.
