But just as we seek to make a splash in this picturesque Palmetto State lakeside community, we’d love for the distinctive Lake Keowee lifestyle to make a splash in the lives of our future homeowners. To get you excited about the possibilities, we wanted to shine the spotlight on FIVE of our favorite things to do on Lake Keowee…

1)     Make Your Own Waves – Boasting 18,500 acres of open waters and tranquil coves,Lake Keowee presents countless opportunities for fun seekers to really shake things up. Rent a 22-foot triton and tubes for towing from Lake Vibes or jet skis and wave runners from Endless Adventures to make your own waves on the glasslike surface of this pristine lake.

2)     Get Set to Glide – If you prefer a more serene day on the lake, you’re going to love exploring Keowee’s quiet coves from the belly of a kayak. Unlimited Outfitters offers a variety of single and double kayaks, as well as paddle boards and pontoons.

3)     Walk Among the Waterfalls – The beauty of Lake Keowee isn’t limited to the lake itself. There are also a number of scenic walking trails where the picturesque payoff is a waterfall. Visible from land and boat, Fall Creek Waterfall is a beautiful destination. The trailhead that runs from Fall Creek Road to the falls will also lead you to an old homestead and two other waterfalls –including Andrew Ramey Falls and Pristine Falls – before leading to the Chattooga River. It’s over a mile and a half one way and a moderate to difficult trek due to overgrowth, but beautiful by all accounts.

4)     Grab a Pint and a Pizza – Thirsty after a day of boating, kayaking or hiking around Lake Keowee? Head on over to Keowee Brewing Company!
