Keowee-Toxaway State Park

“Smiling Faces. Beautiful Places” is right! With views of the Blue Ridge Mountains that will knock your socks off, Keowee-Toxaway epitomizes exquisiteness. Two of park’s hiking trails traverse a natural bridge and meander the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, land once traveled by Cherokee Indians. A short, half-mile trail leads to 18,500-acre Lake Keowee where you can enjoy fishing for bass, bream, crappie and catfish. There’s both tent and RV camping within walking distance of the lake. And if roughin’ it ain’t your thang, not to worry. Three-bedroom cabin rentals furnish plusher accommodations, with scenic lake views and a private boat dock to boot. Your time here will have you grinning from ear to ear.
