Named in honor of the man credited with introducing the poinsettia to the United States, Poinsett State Park encompasses a wide variety of terrain, including the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Carolina Sandhills, and the coastal plains. More than 25 miles of hiking and biking trails run through the park, and there is also a 10-acre lake which visitors are welcome to use for fishing, swimming, boating, and stand-up paddle-boarding. Admission to the park is free, but visitors who want to spend the night at one of the park's 50 campsites will have to pay a small fee.
