Wright’s Creek Falls
Wright’s Creek Falls is located in a cove off the Thompson River finger of Lake Jocassee. Wrights Creek Falls has three tiers, the lower of which plunges directly into the lake at high water levels, allowing you to pull your boat right up to the splashing water. At lower water levels, you can tie off your boat and walk behind the falls. You can paddle to this magnificent sight in about two hours from our Eclectic Sun kayak launch. I usually recommend planning at least 6 hours so you can enjoy yourself along the way and when you get to the falls.
Mill Creek Falls
Mill Creek Falls on the upper end of Lake Jocassee is the perfect spot to stop your boat for a picnic and a swim right up to the falls. This fall grows as the lake levels drop due to the depth of the lake here. You are very likely to experience the sighting of an Eagle or two if you keep your eye out here.
