High Falls and South Cove County Parks, on the shores of Lake Keowee, have an endless variety of lake-centered activities, including lakeside camping and boat access on a deep-blue body of water that’s legendary for fishing and recreation.  Just 10 miles from the Chattooga National Wild and Scenic River, Chau Ram County Park,  named Oconee’s “Best kept secret”, boasts its own river experience, with hiking, waterfalls, camping and picnic areas. A suspension bridge spanning 170 feet crosses the Chauga River provides access to the Chauga river and over 3 miles of hiking trails!  Ramsey Creek Falls, located just off the parking lot, provides amazing scenery with its 40-foot waterfall.  The three parks offer a total of 216 campsites which are prized for their proximity to whitewater rafting, lakes, mountains and waterfalls.
