Shooting Tree Ridge Road Dispersed — Jocassee Gorges

Description

Shooting Tree Ridge Road cuts through the mountain forestland of Jocassee Gorges in upstate South Carolina, a SCDNR-managed tract that stretches toward Lake Jocassee along the North Carolina border. The gravel road corridor passes pull-offs and short spur tracks — including the end of Cane Creek Road — where dispersed camping is posted as permitted, with enough flat room for larger rigs despite switchbacks that demand attentive driving. Access is seasonal under SCDNR management, so confirm the road is open before making the trip.
