When a new dam flooded the Jocassee Valley in 1973, the new lake became one of the deepest in the American Southeast and washed away the memories of a family who had built a life there.
What mysteries survive below the deep dark waters of South Carolina's Lake Jocassee? It will take a team of specially trained divers to discover what, if anything, could still be standing at the bottom of the "holy grail" of man-made lakes.

I have been on the lake countless times and we always knew what was submerged beneath it. Cemeteries, churches, barns and houses still intact, and of course the old lodge which was famous. The Jocassee waters are nearly crystal clear and the water is noticeably colder than other lakes of the region with many beautiful waterfalls falling directly into the lake giving it an almost Nordic atmosphere. It is gorgeous.

I am new to SC..and I am looking for a lake that is clean and safe to swim in. Would you recommend Lake Jocasse? I would be going alone. I am a lead singer in a band here in Myrtle Beach and need to get away!

Some of my ancestors, the Chapmans, had a house there. They lived there since at least 1778. There house was still there, I think in the 70s or 80s.

This short documentary has some interesting history, but seems a but melodramatic and one-sided. The creation of this lake has innumerable upsides as well. The positive economic impact to the area, the ability to use the lake for hydroelectric power generation, use of the lake for cooling at Oconee power station, use as a reservoir for water supply to Greenville, and many more. It's easy to focus on the negative aspects of the lake's creation, but it was not created out of spite or malice and should not be framed that way.

Well said sir!! Well said. I live in the upstate of South Carolina and not one word of the land that was taken from black people in this state at least they were well paid.

@@letelieracker1444 How the fu"ck do do know that? Nothing is well said your kind of people are nothing but a bunch of greedy blood sucking leeches you always have to come take something from someone that does not have the power to fight back just like you did to the Native Indians. You make me sick.

Yes, but people lost their heritage, their homes and land! It was the last of us that were independent from the government! Look at progress now! Food is poison, most of us have cancer and we’re all slaves to the economy of progress. 🙄 The lake is my favorite place and I often fantasize about how it used to be. So much history under that water!! Now, the land that was taken is owed by Duke and they’re selling land for millions now! The people are the ones who lost so it’s not one sided at all!
