Lake Jocassee is a 7,500-acre, 300-foot deep reservoir located in northwest South Carolina created by the state in partnership with Duke Power in 1973. The lake is known for the clean and cold Appalachian mountain rivers that feed the lake to keep its waters cool and clear year-round; the Jocassee Dam, which forms the lake, is 1,750 feet long. The lake is within Devils Fork State Park. Although most manmade structures were demolished before the creation of the lake, divers discovered the remains of a lodge, left intact until the lake rose. Mount Carmel Baptist Church Cemetery was a setting for a scene in the film Deliverance, starring Burt Reynolds and Jon Voight, produced before the lake was flooded; the site is now covered by 130 feet of water in the lake. A confluence of four rivers supplies Lake Jocassee's water; the farthest west of the rivers, the Whitewater River, flows southeast until it meets the northwest corner of Lake Jocassee. The Thompson River flows due south; the Horsepasture River feeds the lake from the northeast corner, along with the Toxaway River, directly east of the Horsepasture River.

The Jocassee Hydro Station, located in the southeast corner of Lake Jocassee, separates it from the beginning of Lake Keowee known as the Keowee River. Lake Keowee's furthest extent to the south brings it close to the city of Seneca, with the old mill town of Newry on it. Unlike Lake Jocassee, Keowee is settled because most of the land adjacent to Lake Jocassee is owned by Duke Power and the State of South Carolina. A rare wildflower, the Oconee Bell, native to only a few counties in the Blue Ridge area, was discovered in the area in 1788 by French botanist André Michaux; the creation of Lake Jocassee is said to have caused the destruction of the heart of the species' range. More biologists have documented the occurrence of a number of rare and endangered species; the Eastatoee Gorge Heritage Preserve was transferred from Duke Power Company to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources in 1979 due to the diverse flora occurring there. Wildlife management efforts in the Jocassee Gorges area began as early as the 1930s when the Chief Game Warden managed the stocking of trout from the Cleveland State Fish Hatchery, Table Rock State Hatchery, the Walhalla National Fish Hatchery.

This led to the improvement of fish populations in the area. People hiking, fishing, or nature watching benefit from the fish stocking and law enforcement of the Game Management Program; the name Jocassee comes from the legend of a Cherokee maiden. An Oconee tribe, the "Brown Vipers" led by Chief Attakulla, inhabited the west side of the Whitewater river, while a rival tribe, "The Green Birds", lived on the east. Legend says that a young Green Bird warrior, Nagoochee was not afraid to enter Brown Viper hunting grounds. On one occasion, he was convinced he was going to die, he heard Jocassee, Attakulla's daughter, who brought him back to her father's lodge and nursed him back to health. Jocassee fell in love with him, but in a battle, Jocassee's brother and brought Nagoochee's head back on his belt. Legend has it that Jocassee went into the water and did not sink but walked across the water to meet the ghost of Nagoochee; the name Jocassee means "Place of the Lost One." The Jocassee Gorges area was once home to the part of the Cherokee Nation.

Nearby Keowee Town was a major hub in the Cherokee Path that connected Cherokee towns and villages throughout the area. Early 18th Century traders delivered as many as 200,000 deerskins annually to Charleston, South Carolina and local Indians became well supplied with European firearms, ammunition and clothing as a result. However, mounting discord between Europeans and Cherokees led to war in 1759. In 1785, General Andrew Pickens hosted a large gathering of Indian chiefs leading to a treaty that gave all of the Jocassee gorges area, with the exception of northern Oconee County, to the United States. European settlers of Scottish and Irish descent, came from Virginia and Pennsylvania as well as from Charleston. Land grants in the Jocassee area go back to 1791. Lake Jocassee was one of the filming locations for the 2012 movie The Hunger Games. Lake Jocassee holds state records for 5 species including three in the sunfish family. In 2001 a 5 lb 2.5 oz Redeye bass and a 9 lb 7 oz Smallmouth bass were caught.

An 8 lb 2 oz Spotted bass was caught in 1996. The last two came from the salmon family. A 17 lb 9.5 oz Brown trout was caught in 1987 and an 11 lb 5 oz Rainbow trout was caught in 1993. The Jocassee Hydro Station, owned by Duke Power, in between Lake Jocassee and Lake Keowee, is a 610 megawatt pumped storage facility. Just off the Whitewater River, Bad Creek Hydroelectric Station is a 1,065 megawatt pumped-storage facility that started generating electricity in 1991 and is owned by Duke Power. Both facilities provide jobs for the surrounding area.

A streetfighter is a sport bike, customized by removing the fairing, making other changes that result in an overall more aggressive look. Beyond removing fairings, specific changes that exemplify the streetfighter look are a pair of large, round headlights, upright handlebars such as those on a motocross bike, short, lightweight silencers. Streetfighters is the name of a UK motorcycle magazine. Streetfighters used custom-built frames intended to overcome the weakness of the tubular steel frames of the early 4-cylinder superbikes of the 1970s and 1980s. Many of these frames turned out to be "beautifully crafted pieces of metallurgical art," only unintentionally. Many were originally racing machines. Made popular by European riders, this type of custom motorcycle gained worldwide popularity, motorcycle manufacturers responded in the late 1990s by adopting the terminology and producing factory-built streetfighters, beginning with the 1994 Triumph Speed Triple and the 1999 Honda X11, up through the 2009 Ducati Streetfighter.

Though it has its styling roots in the café racer culture of the 1950s and 1960s, the streetfighter is much inspired by the new Japanese bikes of the late 1970s and early 1980s from young riders in the UK who couldn't afford to replace damaged fairings after repeated crashes. More appropriate headlights were added high handlebars to aid in wheelies and other stunts; the first sighting of the streetfighter design template was seen in Bike magazine in 1983 when the editor commissioned Andy Sparrow to draw a comic strip to replace Ogri. It was titled Bloodrunners and featured dispatch riders, delivering blood and live human organs for transplant operations in which bikers rode enormous Japanese inline fours with turbos, with no extraneous parts. Fairings, pillion seats & rear footpegs etc. were all binned in favour of lightness and handling ability. Under-seat exhausts, dual headlights and the widest sport tyres were de-rigueur. Actor Huggy Leaver is credited with being inspired to build such customized motorcycles in this style and there was a proliferation of'ratted' streetfighters in London around the late 1980s.

The term streetfighter was first applied to a custom street bike by a British photojournalist and bike builder to a Harley-Davidson customized sports-bike, extended to the Japanese four-cylinder customs being created at the time. Outline of motorcycles and motorcycling Triumph StreetFighter
