CHOA June Event Hightlights

Summer is here and CHOA's event calendar is jam packed with many cool events and adventures. As temperatures rise there is no place better to be then a lake or a  river. Consider the current economy condition and high unemployement. Most of CHOA's events are either free or at minimal cost. If you want to stay active, get outside and keep your spirit up, come out and join the fun.

Water sport events in June to keep you cool from the summer heat:


Spider Lilies Eco Kayak Tour

The Spider Lily Eco-Tour travels along Landsford Canal and allows participants to see and experience the magnificence of the endangered Rocky Shoals Spider Lilies that make their home in the middle of the Catawa River. The rare flowers enter peak blooming period for only one month (mid-May to mid-June). So don`t miss this wonderful experience. CHOA will provide kayak and all equipment.

Kayaking Lake Jocassee

Join us to explore Lake Jocasse. Kayaks and all gear will be provided.

Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of South Carolina is Lake Jocassee is a wonderful experience for the scenic tourist as well the the wildlife adventurer. The crystal clear water that forms the 7,500 acre lake flows from several Appalachian rivers and streams making the lake a favorite for scuba divers as well as paddlers, explorers, tourist and fisherman. With 75 miles of beautiful shore line there is a photo opportunity waiting around every corner.
