West-Union is a small community located at Lake Keowee in northwestern South Carolina. The population is approximately 300 full-time residents. The village of West Union is home to a popular RV campsite that is used by people visiting the lake. Lake Keowee is, of course, the closest and most important attraction near West Union. It's a man-made lake that is shaped somewhat like a Christmas tree; 26 miles long, 3 miles wide and 300 miles of shoreline. The crystal clear water provides swimming, fishing, boating, sailing, water-skiing and kayaking opportunities. At the north end of the lake is the Keowee-Toxaway State Park, with several other smaller parks situated around the lake's shore. In addition to the campgrounds at West Union, there are several other campgrounds in Keowee-Toxaway State Park. The state park actually consists of three different parks: Mile Creek Park, South Cove Park and High Falls Park, and Eastotoe Park, which is a 373-acre natural wildlife preserve. Fish in the Lake Keowee consist of largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass, crappie, bluegill, yellow perch, catfish, brown trout and rainbow trout. There are several other small communities situated around the lake that provide services for tourists.

West Union Weather & Climate

The westernnmost mountain region of North Carolina is the smallest of the three main divisions of the state; the Coastal Plain, the Piedmont and the Mountains. However, its' range of elevation is the greatest; it stretches upward from around 1,500 feet along the eastern boundary to 6,684 feet at the summit of Mt. Mitchell. The climate is definitely effected by elevation. Overall, spring is unpredictable, summer is warm with moderate humidity, autumn is crisp and cool and winters are cold - but moderate. More extreme winter conditions can be expected at the mountain peaks. Showers and thunderstorms are common in spring and summer. Expect temperatures to be 10 to 20 degrees cooler on the mountaintops than in the lower elevations. Although snow in winter is likely, most ski resorts rely on snowmaking equipment because daytime highs can often hover in the 40-degree range.
