Operated seasonally, Baker Creek caters to those looking for fun on Lake Thurmond, a wild ride on
South Carolina mountain bike trails or a quick camping trip. If you’re looking for quality,
South Carolina mountain bike trails, the park is home to 10 miles of rolling, loop trails that take bikers through oak and pine woodlands.
Outside the stillness of the woods sits
Lake Thurmond, a 71,100-acre lake that offers campers serene, lakeside camping sites, as well as easy lake access for boaters and fishers. A covered, 160-person capacity pavilion overlooks the lake and is perfect for group get-togethers and family reunions.
Check out other South Carolina State Parks! You can find more boating and fishing fun on the
South Edisto River or at
Keowee-Toxaway State Park.
