CROFT STATE PARK
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.

After searching online ,which stated there was swimming, that there was no swimming in the lake. highly disappointed but found out there was a creek to go to so i tried there not great for swimming either just wading but the scenery was great.
Its one of the best for trail riding.. Been here many times.. Also has great campsites and horse barn....Not good if it has been raining tho.. can get boggy on the trails when wet. otherwise a great place to spend a day or weekend ...
Nice Horse trails, clean restrooms, plenty of parking. The trails range from wide and very easy to narrow and slightly hard. To many trails to ride in one day!
