South Cove County Park

A 48-acre park, South Cove Park is situated on the crystal-clear waters of Lake Keowee, which covers 18,500 acres, and is tucked away in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. On a 15-acre peninsula, there are 86 campsites with water and electricity, and 46 of them are waterfront. A dump station is situated close to the park's entrance, and two bathhouses provide service to the campsite area.

Both lakeside camping and a wide range of day-use amenities are available at South Cove Park. Three access ramps make fishing, boating, sailing, and water skiing easy to access. Day-use amenities include a handicapped-accessible fishing pier, four pickleball courts, three tennis courts, basketball, playground areas, picnic spaces, and a waterfront sand beach for sunbathing. Two rental structures/shelters are offered by South Cove and can be reserved for gatherings, birthday celebrations, award ceremonies, and picnics. The lake itself is huge with numerous inlets and coves to explore, and the lakeshore is heavily forested, mostly with pine trees. Including ducks, shorebirds, forest birds, and even the sporadic peregrine falcon and bald eagle, this area is home to over 200 kinds of birds.
