Ho Ho Ho Your Boats!

In a tradition unto itself, residents of The Reserve at Lake Keowee enjoyed their 2^nd Annual “Jingle All the Way” boat caroling event, “dashing through the lake” amid warm 60-degree temperatures in merry spirit and festive fun.

Four boats carrying 37 carolers participated in this year’s event, which consisted of four planned stops at different Reserve owners’ docks decorated for the occasion. Singing traditional Christmas songs along the way, the carolers docked at sunset at The Reserve at Lake Keowee’s Marina, and walked up to The Village’s Market to enjoy warm house made soups and sandwiches.

The evening ended around a roaring fire, roasting s’mores for dessert. If ever there were a portrait of a quintessential Christmas evening (with a twist), it could certainly have been here.

2010 marks the 10th Anniversary for The Reserve at Lake Keowee, and ten years of family fun on the lake! I’ve enjoyed this year of refection and celebration; it’s certainly rewarding to look back at how much our community has grown, from the groundbreaking of our Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course to the opening of our waterfront Village and Marina. I’d like to thank the the 600+ member families here for embracing The Reserve lifestyle and making this a truly special place to live, work and play. Enjoy the video!

Sunrise over The Reserve at Lake Keowee Waterfront Marina Park

A sunrise walk or jog along The Reserve at Lake Keowee waterfront Marina Park is the perfect place to exercise your physical, spiritual, and intellectual health!

We have established the important role that physical fitness plays in maintaining our health and well-being, but don’t forget that Physical Health or Fitness is just one of five components said to comprise our overall well-being or Wellness:

1. Physical Health: the actual fitness and condition of the body—includes medical health and physical fitness.

2. Emotional Health: the ability to cope with and control emotions so that you feel comfortable expressing them in an appropriate manner.

3. Social/Environmental Health: the ability to interact well with people and the surrounding environment.

4. Spiritual Health: refers to issues in rightness and order and/or belief in a higher being.

5. Intellectual Health: involves the ability to learn and grow intellectually.

*While physical health is an important component of your overall health, it is important to keep a good balance of all five components of Wellness.

Reserve Wellness: June is “Paddling” Month

Posted on June 1, 2010 by Lauren Parnell

Reserve ladies paddle thier kayaks around The Reserve Marina on Lake Keowee

With the warm weather of Summer upon us it is a great time to explore our neighboring lakes in a canoe, kayak, skull, or other self-powered water craft. Whether you choose to venture out on Lake Keowee in a club kayak or canoe (located on the dock below the pool), or take your own craft up to Devils Fork State Park to paddle on Lake Jocassee, you will not be disappointed! Paddling is a great workout, plus you will have the opportunity to spot wildlife such as birds, fish, turtles, and more. When setting out for a paddling trip there are a few safety precautions you will want to keep in mind:

Research the water in which you are planning to paddle
Choose a trip appropriate for your experience and ability level
Tell someone else where you are paddling and when you’ll return
Pack plenty of water and snacks, a First Aid Kit, and a Map, GPS, or other Navigational Tool
Don’t forget your life jacket and whistle
Bring your cell phone, fully charged, in a secured, dry box or bag
Make sure your equipment is safe and appropriate before the trip
Wear layered, dry fit clothing or swimming attire
Wear sturdy supportive water shoes you will be comfortable portaging in if needed

Be sure your boat is in tip-top shape as Boating Season begins on Lake Keowee

Posted on March 29, 2010 by Carlisle Jones

Setting sail on beautiful Lake Keowee from The Reserve Marina. It’s always a great idea to have your boat “summer-ized” by a certified mechanic. With a thorough inspection, they are able to tell if something is out of sync and correct any potential problems before you head out for a weekend on the lake.

Hopefully your boat was winterized and fuel stabilizer was used to keep the fuel from turning bad during the winter months. Charging the battery is always a good idea to ensure that it hasn’t lost any power due to inactivity in the cooler months. However, the most important thing to check before your boat hits the water this spring is the drain plug! Make sure the plug or plugs are in place and snug before launching.

Plus, as boating season begins, it’s always a great idea to inventory life jackets, the throw floatation device, fire extinguisher, and verify that you registration is current. Be safe and have a great summer of boating on Lake Keowee!
