In the
High Hills of Santee, where the sandhills of the Midlands region meet the coastal plains, you’ll find Poinsett State Park. Called the "mountains of the midlands," this mixed ecosystem yields a high degree of biodiversity and some of the most unique natural sightings in the park system.
Hiking, biking and equestrian trails wind through the park. Poinsett’s 10-acre lake makes for a serene setting, and can be used for fishing and john boat rentals. The park also offers campsites, a fishing pond with coquina bathhouse built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, pre-revolutionary grist mill ruins and rustic cabins.
