It is located three miles off of SC 11, the Cherokee Scenic Highway , near tiny Salem, South Carolina . The park offers Hiking , Camping (including several paddle-in primitive sites), Canoeing and Kayaking . The park is well-known for Rainbow and Brown Trout , as well as Largemouth , Smallmouth , and White Bass , Crappie , Bream and Catfish . The park has accommodations for Scuba divers, including a walk-in ramp; thirty foot visibility is common, and due to the lake's recent creation, roads, houses, signs and other marks of human habitation can be seen on the lake bottom. The 622-acre park was created in 1990. The park has many small waterfalls that feed lake Jocassee, and is home to the Oconee Bell , a wildflower indigenous to North and South Carolina that grows throughout the park; more than 90 percent of the world population of these delicate white and pink flowers are found in the park.
