Lake Greenwood State Park

Lake Greenwood State Park near Ninety Six occupies a series of peninsulas on Lake Greenwood, combining scenic shoreline access with recreation on land and water. Established in 1938 on land donated by Greenwood County during the Great Depression, it was one of sixteen South Carolina state parks developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps under Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal. Many CCC-built features, including picnic shelters, a water fountain, a lakeside terrace, and a boathouse, still serve visitors. The park supports picnicking, fishing, boating, hiking, and camping, while the John Drummond and Holly Self Drummond Environmental Education Conference Center and its Civilian Conservation Corps Museum preserve and interpret that Depression-era legacy.
