The body of water we know as Lake Toxaway did not always
exist. Before 1902, this was a rugged mountain area thick
with forest and no paved roadways to travel. Thanks to the
vision of E. H. Jennings, a Pittsburgh entrepreneur who
visited the area in 1890, the Toxaway Company was founded in
1896 and was responsible for creating several resorts, among
them the Toxaway Inn.
