Gorges State Park

 This beautiful area is the only state park west of Asheville, NC.    Duke Energy sold land to the state to begin what now is a 7,500 acre park.
 Recent renovations to the park created a new visitor center with a fireplace,"waterwall", and overlook porch with rocking chairs.   
 Bearwallow Valley Trail was an easy 1 mile loop to a nice view of Lake Jocassee.  There are a few other trails in the area to make it well worth the drive to such a remote park.
