About Lake Jocassee
Lake Jocassee was built in 1973 by Duke Power in partnership with South Carolina, with a 385-foot dam impounding the confluence of the Whitewater, Thompson, Horsepasture and Toxaway rivers below the Blue Ridge escarpment. It covers about 7,500 acres and reaches over 300 feet deep, with water cold and clear enough to be a serious scuba destination in the South. Devils Fork State Park sits on the shore near Salem, and Laurel Fork Falls and several other waterfalls pour directly into the lake from the mountains above. It also holds several South Carolina state fishing records.
