Nature
Lee State Park in Lee County, South Carolina, preserves a stretch of the Lynches River while serving as a recreation area with trails, camping, fishing, picnicking, and notable equestrian facilities. Developed in the 1930s as one of 16 South Carolina parks built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression under Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, it still retains many original CCC-era buildings on land donated by Lee County. The park also reflects a much longer human history: archaeological studies show American Indian occupation at least five times between 6000 BC and 1000 AD. Today it combines that historic landscape with environmental education and family recreation.
