Between 1933 and 1942 more than 49,000 young men in South Carolina were employed by
Civilian Conservation Corps. They fought wildfires, stopped soil erosion, built roads and trails, erected fire towers, planted trees, and built 16 state parks. These were the first state parks in South Carolina and are still being enjoyed today. The craftsmanship of the young men can been seen in the picnic shelters at Lee State Park.
Lee State park has a campground, a horse camp, horse trails, hiking trails, and a lake for fishing and swimming. One unique feature are four free flowing artesian wells.
The campground has two accessible sites but I didn’t check them out. We camped in a regular site which was fine. Short trails start at the campground. The boardwalk is the only one that is truly accessible. The others have roots and uneven ground. Portions of the 5 mile loop road are accessible.
Campground 34.19538, -80.18315
This looks like a pretty nice place, but I doubt we'll ever get that-a-way again. Hope you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteWe did enjoy it and would camp there again if we were in the area.
