The Waterways of the Jocassee Gorges



Photographs and Links to Other Web Sites

There are a number of photos in the waterways section, above, especially of the Horsepasture River. I've also cross-linked many of the photos to their names in the About the land link. Here's the story behind the photos. And here are links to related web sites.

Good reading of the old-fashioned variety:

The following books offer extensive information about the Jocassee Gorges. The links lead to my descriptions.


Here's the old Jocassee Gorges page for archival purposes.

More to come every day. Interested parties should send me email: forrest.smith@duke.edu.
