Lake Keowee Offers Variety
Imagine a place that evokes the charm of small-town living combined with the cultural benefits of the big city and the allure of the remote, peaceful wilderness.
If you have trouble imagining all those characteristics existing in such proximity, let me invite you to the Lake Keowee-Clemson region of South Carolina to discover such a place.
The northern tip of Lake Keowee is home to two communities, The Reserve and The Cliffs, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Both offer world-class golf and amenities, and with 350 miles of shoreline surrounded by nearly a half-million acres of undisturbed forest, the region provides a bounty for anyone that enjoys the outdoors.
Abutting Lake Keowee to the north is Lake Jocassee, where 95 percent of the shoreline is protected from development. The area is home to the largest vertical drop waterfalls east of the Mississippi.
Clemson is just miles away, and the university town provides an abundance of cultural and sporting events. One moment you can be alone fishing, swimming or hiking, and in the next you can be with 100,000 people tailgating prior to a football game. I grew up in Ontario, and the only thing to evoke as much passion as Clemson athletics is when Canada plays the Russians in hockey.
If that weren’t enough, the city of Greenville is just 45 minutes away.
I’ve seen the wilderness of northern Ontario. I’ve lived in cities such as Toronto and Cincinnati. I’ve never seen anything like Lake Keowee. There is a greater variety of activity here than anywhere else I’ve been.
It really is a one-of-a-kind paradise.
