| State Park Overview: |
 | Once part of a World War II Army training camp known as Camp Croft, this area continues to play an important role in preserving greenspace in Spartanburg County. Croft?s rolling terrain of 7,054-acres and two lakes support an excellent habitat for a variety of flora and fauna.
The park also offers diverse recreational opportunities for the adventurous guest that includes a hiking trail, fishing, picnicking, seasonal swimming, camping, equestrian facilities and more. In addition to its history as a military installation, the park?s cultural features include remnants of a Native American soapstone quarry, registered as a Heritage Trust Site. |

Great for Trail Running
There are some fun trails with amazing hills (if you are up for a challenge!). Just be careful not to get lost (some trails are longer than they look on the map)!

Most improved !
If you have not been to Croft lately, you need to plan a trip. I have seen more improvements in this park in the last year than the last 20 years. Work has been done on the campsites, the show ring, the barn, the trails. New picnic tables have been added near the barn, with hitching rails for the horse. Croft is the first SC trails that have been opened to horse riders, cyclist, and hikers to share the trails . We are having a great time and please let the rangers know if you like all the work being done.
