One of the Five Lake Keowee islands adopted by The Reserve.
Adopting five islands in Lake Keowee through the “Adopt-an-Island” program created by Friends of Lake Keowee Society (FOLKS) and Duke Energy Island Keeper. Islands 17, 17A, 17B, 17C, and 17D have been adopted by The Reserve and its members. The property owners and staff from The Reserve have been cleaning the lake and islands this week, in conjunction with the bi-annual “Lake Sweep,” a lake-wide clean-up effort organized by FOLKS. The Adopt-an-Island will culminate this Saturday, as Boy Scouts and leaders from Pickens Troop 51 join The Reserve in helping clean islands 17 and 17A and hear from FOLKS volunteer, Jack Lewis, about their impact on the lake.

At the clean-up event in February, members of The Reserve picked up 93 bags of litter, including a car bumper and old tires.
