After returning from the Caribbean the day before, My girlfriend and I took advantage of a beautiful Saturday morning and afternoon borrowing Kayaks from my Mom and Step dad to go Kayaking on Lake Jocassee. Being that I am new to the whole outdoors experience in South Carolina, we also borrowed my step dads old tent to finally experience camping for the first time at Keowee-Toxaway State Park.
After we set up camp in the park, we drove a few miles west to Devil’s Fork State Park where we found out we could Kayak to a few waterfalls. We headed straight for the boat drop off ramp, placed our Kayaks in the water, and set off on a search for some water falls. We not only encountered strong winds throughout most of the journey but we didn’t find the waterfalls wish hoped to see. Only to later find out where we turned around, a waterfall was not far away as well as one other just a bit further north of that. We then later picked up some goodies and food to complete our camping experience before we hit the sheets. Although unsuccessful at chasing our waterfalls and disregarding our strenuous workout, it was a fairly serene experience with low boat traffic and low activity.
