Lake Keowee island shoreline to be stabilized

FOLKS—Friends of Lake Keowee—has been given the go ahead by Duke Energy to stabilize the shoreline of a lake island known as a home to 11 Great Blue Herons and their chicks.  The island sits at the north end of Lake Keowee, near the Cliffs Lakehouse Restaurant.  Jack Lewis, FOLKS President, said, “We were fearful that the island will continue to erode over time and take away an important rookery.”
