Encompassing 1165 acres near the Blue Ridge Mountains in the South Carolina Upcountry, Oconee State Park offers plenty of wonderful opportunities for hiking, fishing, and picnicking. The park was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930s, and many of the buildings constructed during this time are still standing, including approximately 20 rustic cabins that are available for rent. Campsites are available as well. There are also plenty of amenities for visitors who would rather just come for the day, including four large picnic shelters, an 18-hole mini golf course, and an old-fashioned swimming hole with a diving board.
