High Falls County Park offers a well-developed public access point to Lake Keowee's lower basin and Barkshed Branch. Located east of Walhalla at the end of County Road 574 off Highway 183, this facility features a boat ramp, ample parking, and RV/trailer spaces, making it convenient for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. The site includes restrooms, picnic areas with shelters, a playground, and handicap-accessible facilities.
Lake Keowee offers scenic paddling opportunities with access to multiple water areas. However, **arrive early, as parking fills up quickly** during peak seasons. High Falls serves the lower lake region and provides a good launching point for exploring the broader Keowee system. The park is maintained by Oconee County Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism, along with Duke Energy, ensuring regular upkeep of the facilities.
