Constructed by Duke Power Company to generate hydroelectric power, Lake Keowee covers Keowee Town, site of the capital of the Lower Cherokee Nation. Keowee, meaning "Place of the Mulberries," was visited by Spanish explorer Hernando DeSoto when he came through the area in 1540. 18,500 acres of water and a 300-mile shoreline make the Lake Keowee area a popular place for boating, fishing, water-skiing, swimming, camping and picnicking. It is located predominately in Oconee County, but it also extends into Pickens County. (Information provided by the Discover Upcountry Carolina Association.) sc-kayaking, Gone2theDogs, and BobandIa with Gone2theDogs daughter-in-law and 3 month old Billy set out on 08-15-09 to find all the caches on Lake Jocassi and Keowee. When we completed our trip by boat we all decided to place a cache on Lake Keowee to honor our achievement of 11 water caches and 6 land caches that day. Depending on the landing you choose there may be a parking fee. .
