History

In 1934, the U.S. Government, as well local citizens, donated 7,361 acres (30 km) for the parks. In 1990, an additional 1.4 acres (5,700 m) was purchased from A. Wannamaker. Many buildings which are still in use at the park, as well as the 300-acre (1.2 km) lake, were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps. It is the oldest State Park in the South Carolina Park System and the largest originating from the CCC.
