Salem sets the pace for lakefront living with quick access to pristine waters and dramatic mountain views. Weekends often start at Devils Fork State Park, the gateway to sapphire-clear Lake Jocassee, or on scenic byways that lace through the Jocassee Gorges, a celebrated haven for waterfalls, rare plants, and dark-sky stargazing. Hikers and photographers alike make the short trek to Whitewater Falls, one of the tallest cascades in the East, for sweeping overlooks and misty trails.
Life on Lake Keowee brings an array of amenities. The established Keowee Key community offers golf, pickleball, a waterfront fitness and leisure hub, and an active calendar of clubs, while The Cliffs at Keowee Falls delivers luxury homesites, trails, and private lake access. Everyday needs are close by in Seneca, including care at Prisma Health Oconee Memorial Hospital and programs at the Oconee County Public Library — Salem Branch.
Families value schools supported by the School District of Oconee County, with academic and extracurricular options that make the most of the area’s outdoor classroom. As part of Oconee County, residents enjoy year-round festivals, farm-to-table markets, and easy day trips to waterfalls, state parks, and mountain towns.
