Lake Jocassee is a doggie paradise but pets are not permitted in the cabins at the State Park. Maplecrest at Lake Jocassee is “Pet Friendly” to well behaved dogs and is just 1 mile from the beach and boat ramp at Devils fork Stste Park.

The views are incredible. Love at first sight. I just wish they’ll put a lifeguard at the swimming area.

Definitely on our future vacation planning.
