Lake Jocassee is a 7,565 acre, 415-foot deep man-made lake located in upstate South Carolina. Created in 1973 by Duke Power, Lake Jocassee has crystal clear water and endless natural boundaries. The lake is perfect for boating, skiing, fishing, and scenic water tours.

One of the many great features of this lake is that there is very little development and most of the land is protected by the Jocassee Gorges Wildlife Management Area, surrounding mountains, and many majestic waterfalls that cascade directly into the lake. The lake is formed by the Whitewater, Thompson, and Toxaway Rivers. It is the deepest and coldest lake in South Carolina. For this reason Lake Jocassee is famous for hosting state records in certain categories of fish. Some of those include brown and rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, and sunfish.
