Since 1971, Lake Keowee's 18,500 acres of water and 300 miles of shoreline have been a valuable source of energy and recreation in northwestern South Carolina. Keowee was the first lake developed as part of Duke Energy's Keowee-Toxaway Complex. The complex includes the Oconee Nuclear Station and the Keowee, Jocassee and Bad Creek hydroelectric stations.
Full pond elevation at Lake Keowee is 800 feet. The lake provides a dependable water supply for Greenville and Seneca, South Carolina.
Fishing
Largemouth and Spotted Bass: Fair. Fishing is best in the lower part of the lake and some good action is coming drop shotting soft plastics (speckled minnow color) around boat docks in 15 to 35 feet of water. Another productive pattern is to look for baitfish, including dying shad, and toss a black/silver lipless crankbait.
