Join us for a guided kayak tour of Lake Jocassee. The pace is leisurely as we use our pontoon boats to move from one remote and wild paddling location to another around the lake, exploring the wonders of Lake Jocassee and the Jocassee Gorges in the intimate fashion that only kayaking can provide. You’ll see lots of waterfalls and have plenty of time for refreshing swims along the way. This tour is designed to be easy on the body and nourishing to the spirit as you’re with the ACA certified kayak guides and naturalists from Jocassee Lake Tours. Paddling time is about three very relaxing hours; please note this is considered a moderately challenging physical activity. Free park admission for all SC State Park Palmetto Pass holders; others pay $8 per adult and $5 per senior, ages 65 and up.
