Visit Oconee SC is a destination marketing organization.
We’re focused on bringing visitors into Oconee County to stay overnight, dine in our restaurants, support local businesses, and visit our tourism destinations.
Located in the northwestern “Upstate” or “mountain lakes region” of South Carolina, Oconee County is blessed with lush forest landscape (over 85,000 acres), four lakes surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, trails to 29 waterfalls, two free flowing rivers (one of which is the Wild and Scenic Chattooga), water front state and county parks, mountain bike trails and more!
Visit Oconee SC highlights our spectacular natural assets and promotes local events, entertainment venues, museums, shops, restaurants and lodging.
Stop by our Visitors Center to find information or get suggestions for where to go and what to do while you’re here.
