✨SOCIAL MEDIA TAKEOVER✨

Hi again! I’m Anna from @stuckonthego - the one that’s been on @visitoconeesc’s stories this week. I’ll be on stories until Sunday so make sure you are checking those out!

Here is a fun weekend itinerary idea for outdoor adventure lovers:

FRIDAY

SATURDAY

🌊 Go rafting with @wildwaterltd on the Chattooga River.
🍎 Check out @chattooga_belle_farm for gorgeous views and a distillery
🍕 Have dinner in Walhalla at Carolina Pizza Co or @trailheadt

SUNDAY

🥾 Hike to one of the many waterfalls in the area! Brasstown, Yellow Branch, and Issaqueena are favorites. Station Cove is also a good one.
🍔 Have lunch at @thehungryhiker_ before heading out of town

This was taken a few years ago after some days of heavy rain. After last nights rain it’s probably looking the same way. Whitewater Falls starts in North Carolina and ending in Lake Jocassee, South Carolina. These falls are the highest in eastern America. Easy 10 minute walk to a viewing platform at upper falls.

✨SOCIAL MEDIA TAKEOVER✨

Hi there! I’m Anna of @stuckonthego and I’m so excited to be taking over @visitoconeesc this week! I’ll be on stories sharing the fun things I did in Oconee County last week. I visited last Monday through Friday and had a packed itinerary full of exploring Walhalla & Seneca, waterfall hikes, rafting, and a lake tour on Jocassee so you don’t want to miss this. Ask me all your questions!

ABOUT ME:
I’m a travel blogger and content creator based in North Carolina who loves helping busy people plan efficient itineraries full of outdoor adventures and great, local food finds. My favorite destinations to highlight are small southern towns because I think the south has so much to offer but is often overlooked. We have tons of outdoor adventure here too!

FUN FACTS:
🐷 My husband and I have pigs, chickens, bees, a dog, and recently got sheep. He is the farmer and I’m just the support staff.

💵 Travel style is mostly budget but I will splurge on special experiences like a unique tour or activity in the area. I’m all about experiences over things.

⚡️ I worked at an electrical engineering consulting company as a project manager until I recently quit my job to pursue blogging and content creation full time.

✈️ I didn’t start traveling a lot until I graduated college when I took a five week trip through Europe with EF Ultimate Break. Once I got back I tried to take a weekend trip every month or at least every other month.

TELL ME: What’s your favorite thing to do in Oconee County?

Book your next vacation at the Jocassee Hideaway!

Book your next vacation at the Jocassee Hideaway! Jocassee has some of the best fishing in the Southeast and is a lake that watersports lovers dream of where there are so few boats, open water skiing, wakeboarding, and tubing are awesome. This 4BR/3B log cabin sits on one of the few lots with access to the lake with no stairs, just a gentle grade from the house to the dock. The dock floats in deep water and provides a panoramic view of the lake and mountains. For more info and options click the link in bio.
