Water Body Attractions In South Carolina

  • 1. Colonial Lake Charleston
    Slavery in the colonial area which later became the United States developed from complex factors, and researchers have proposed several theories to explain the development of the institution of slavery and of the slave trade. Slavery strongly correlated with Europe's American colonies' need for labor, especially for the labor-intensive plantation economies of the sugar colonies in the Caribbean, operated by Great Britain, France, Spain, and the Dutch Republic.

    Lake Murray is a reservoir in the U.S. state of South Carolina. It is approximately 50,000 acres in size, and has roughly 500 miles of shoreline.

    Lake Jocassee is a 7,500-acre , 300-foot deep reservoir located in northwest South Carolina created by the state in partnership with Duke Power in 1973.

The Jocassee Dam, which forms the lake, is 385 feet high and 1,750 feet long. The lake is within Devils Fork State Park. Although most manmade structures were demolished before the creation of the lake, divers recently discovered the remains of a lodge which was left intact until the lake rose; it is now below 300 feet of water. Mount Carmel Baptist Church Cemetery was a setting for a scene in the film Deliverance , starring Burt Reynolds and Jon Voight, produced before the lake was flooded. The sit...
