About
About More of South Carolina
Ninety Six National Historic Site, about 60 miles south of Greenville, preserves the site of an 18th-century backcountry town where two Revolutionary War battles were fought, along with the earthen Star Fort, and a walking trail passes a cannon and a rifle tower. In the Blue Ridge Mountains near Salem, Devils Fork State Park is the only public access point to Lake Jocassee, a clear, spring-fed lake of about 7,565 acres. Lake tours lead to waterfalls that can only be reached by boat, and a 1-mile trail passes the endangered Oconee bell wildflower, which usually blooms in early spring.
