Protecting Lake Keowee By Protecting Our Shores
Whether you own property in a lakefront community or simply enjoy swimming, fishing, boating, or drinking tap water, you have a vested interest in Lake Keowee’s health. And what we all do on the LAND that surrounds the lake can have a major impact on water quality.
