High Falls County Park July 30, 2015

Another outing after finishing work...this time to High Falls County Park, about 1/2 hour from here on Lake Keowee.  Oconee County really has some beautiful recreational areas.  This 44 acre park has picnic tables, camp sites, miniature golf, ball fields, a boat ramp, and boasts the best sand beach on Lake Keowee.  We packed a picnic lunch and my bathing gear and spent a couple of hours enjoying nature.  I'm not sure why the park is named High Falls since there weren't any falls that we could see.
We selected a table close to where Bob had parked the truck so he didn't have to walk too far.
Looking out toward the boat ramp area
The sandy beach...better than the red clay at some of the other sites
The lake is in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains
Looking at the park from the fishing pier.  The boat ramp is on the left and beach on the right.
Armed with funoodle and water shoes, I'm ready to head down to the beach and cool off in the lake.
