Breathtaking Lake Jocassee is located in northwest South Carolina in the lower hills of the Appalachian Mountains! This 3-day canoeing trip will allow ample time for both relaxation and exploration during the day and for camping at night. We will paddle out to our campsites on a beautiful island and spend our days paddling, swimming, exploring, and practicing mindfulness. Take a dip in the cool mountain waters and taste the fresh mountain air! We will depart early Friday morning and will return late Sunday evening. Treat yourself to an incredible weekend of paddling and relaxation!
