The Lake is man made, old Camp JoCassee is 300' below the surface now. The lake is near the Eastern Divide and is a clear deep Mt. lake with several large fingers where rivers come into the lake and is surrounded by mountains. I believe it is 27 miles from the main put-in to the back of the NC side. NC opened up a park on their end a few years back...I am more familiar with the Devils Fork put-ins, cabins and park. know of some 17' Wilderness System, Sealutions if needed

Have to agree about Lake Jocassee. Really beautiful place. Devils Fork also has rental cabins. I've done the campground there several times; it's also a great place to do deep dives IF you have the technical experience/equipment (it's clear as air and really cold below 200' ). If you don't feel like driving that far check out Cheraw State Park in Cheraw, SC. They've also got campgrounds and cabins, the lake has good bass and panfish and there's also championship golf. Swing by here and we'll loan you the canoe (if the rugrats in the "Q" aren't using it ). SC does right by their state parks.
