Seneca, SC AT A GLANCE:
Best of Lake Keowee,
Lake Jocassee &
Clemson
|
|
eneca has changed over the years from a textile town to a popular retirement destination following the construction of two beautiful mountain lakes, Lake Keowee and Lake Jocassee.
Attractive residential areas dot the shoreline of Lake Keowee, providing residents a view of the clear lake blending into the mountains of North Carolina along the north end of the this18,500-acre lake.
Seneca is the largest city (population 7,700) in Oconee County, which is in the northwest corner of South Carolina. It is within fifteen minutes of the shores of Lake Keowee, and 20 minutes from the 18,000-student Clemson University.
Recreation opportunities around Lake Keowee, nearest to the North Carolina Mountains, along with nearby Clemson University brought retirees from other parts of the U.S. to new lakeside retirement communities.

Historic District in

Many of the buildings
have been refurbished,
and now house
restaurants, shops and
professional offices.
Downtown Go Round, a monthly event on Ram Cat Alley, features an open house by all the retail establishments and a band for entertainment.
Arts on the Alley
presents a series of
free events in
downtown Seneca during
two, two-day events,
as part of the
Downtown Go Round.
The Artist's Loft is an attractive cooperative retail arts gallery that also offers classes. You can find a wide assortment of tasty fudge at the Fudge Factory. The Circa 1930 is a popular tea room serving lunch, and Rudy's on Ram Cat offers fine dining.
A new city park, the Norton Thompson Park, provides space for a farmer's market and outdoor festivals a block from Ram Cat Alley.
