It’s hard to believe that as recently as 1970, this lake didn’t exist. The Jocassee Valley was a beautiful, quiet and lush dip in the Blue Ridge Mountains where four wild rivers flowed. Whitewater, Toxaway, Horsepasture and Keowee rivers were flooded in 1973 by Duke Power Company’s multi-million dollar Keowee-Toxaway hydroelectric dam project. The result is the deepest (more than 360 feet), most pristine lake in the state.DocumentCopyright status undetermined.
