Unfortunately, no fishing or trespassing are allowed at Table Rock Cove because it is designated as a Greenville Watershed Lake---one that provides drinking water to the city of Greenville. However, a small viewing area is accessible, and for nature lovers and bird watchers, it is well worth the trip.

It is located about 11 miles east of Easley, South Carolina.
