FISHING



The fishing in Lake Keowee and the rivers and streams that surround The Cliffs are some of the best (and most scenic) in the Southeast. Anglers enjoy world-class opportunities, and numerous state records have come from these waters. Just try it once and you’ll be wondering if it’s the fish that’s gotten hooked… or you.

“This land is often characterized as the land of waterfalls. And like notches on a belt, it’s about what waterfalls you’ve seen and what you need to see. It’s just a part of the incredible ecosystem we have here. There’s more plant life in these mountains than anywhere in the Western Hemisphere.”
