Oconee State Park
The historic park rests deep in the Blue Ridge foothills, with several hiking trails, cabins and campgrounds that have welcomed families since the days the park was first built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression. The park�s fishing lakes offer bass and bream and the woods are full of wildlife, fur and feather alike. It also serves as the southern trailhead for the Foothills Trail, a 78 mile wilderness hike on Blue Ridge Escarpment up to Table Rock. Adjacent to Sumter National Forest, the park also serves as a jumping off point to the nearby Chattooga and Chauga rivers, hotspots for whitewater rafting and trout fishing. For those wanting to take it easy, Oconee State Park is an ideal destination. After all, its mailing address is the town of Mountain Rest.
