Welcome to South Carolina's beautiful Golden Corner located in the north western corner of the state.  The Golden Corner is nestled among the Blue Ridge Mountains and Sumter National Forest.  Three major lakes Hartwell, Keowee and Jocassee provide ample recreational opportunities for boating, fishing, picnicking on warm sandy beaches and uninhibited islands for quiet retreats.

Lake Keowee
Lake Keowee was constructed by Duke Power company for use in generating hydroelectric power.  During construction of the lake the area known as Keowee Town was lost when the Keowee River was dammed during the lake construction.  Keowee Town was the site of the Lower Cherokee Nation's capital.  The word "Keowee means Place Of The Mulberries" was visited by the Spanish explorer Hernando DeSoto in 1540.  Lake Keowee encompasses 18,500 acres with a shoreline of 300 miles.  Much of Lake Keowee has yet to see development.

Lake Jocassee
Located high above Lake Keowee, Jocassee has remained one of the few sparsely developed freshwater lakes.  Jocassee is well known from its trophy sized Large Mouth Bass and Brown Trout has true qualities of a mountain lake, cool waters year round, and underwater visibility that easily exceeds 20 feet in most area. Jocassee covers 7,656 acres.

Lake Hartwell
Lake Hartwell was built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for flood control and for hydroelectric power between 1955 and 1963.  Bordering between South Carolina and Georgia Lake Hartwell is enjoyed by millions of visitors at its many marinas, state parks, and campgrounds that dot its shoreline.  Lake Hartwell covers nearly 56,000 acres of water and boasts a shoreline of 962 miles.
