Oconee State Park

Oconee State Park occupies 1,165 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountain region of northwestern South Carolina, where a mountain setting combines historic park structures with camping, picnicking, fishing, boating, and hiking. Developed in the 1930s during the Great Depression, the park was shaped largely by Civilian Conservation Corps crews working through Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, and many of their buildings still stand. Its trail system is especially significant, connecting to both the Foothills Trail and the Oconee Passage of the Palmetto Trail. In 2004, numerous cabins, shelters, and related facilities were placed on the National Register of Historic Places for their CCC craftsmanship and historic recreational importance.
