DESCRIPTION:
The only naturalist-led tours of Lake Jocassee and the Jocassee gorges.
Lake Jocassee is a 9,000-acre, 385-foot deep reservoir located in northwest South Carolina. It was created by Duke Power in 1973 for the purpose of generating hydroelectric power. The lake is commonly known for the clean and cold Appalachian mountain rivers that feed the lake, keeping its waters cool and water visibility clear year-round. The Jocassee Dam, which forms the lake, is 400 feet high and 1,750 feet long. The south end of the lake is home to Devils Fork State Park. Although most man-made structures were demolished prior to the creation of the lake, local divers have discovered the remains of a lodge which was left intact. The lodge now sits under 300 feet of water. A hilltop graveyard with headstones also remains more than 130 feet under the water. As a note of trivia, the cemetery was one of the scenes used in the filming of the 1972 thriller, Deliverance, starring Burt Reynolds and Jon Voight.
A confluence of four rivers supplies Lake Jocassee's water. The farthest west of the rivers, the Whitewater River, flows southeast until it meets the northwest corner of Lake Jocassee. The Thompson River flows due south until it too reaches the lake in the northwest corner. The Horsepasture River feeds the lake from the northeast corner, along with the Toxaway River, which is directly east of the Horsepasture River.
