State Park Information


State Park Overview

This popular Upcountry state park rests on a high plateau among tall pines and hardwoods in the foothills of the Blue Ridge.

Among the parks 1,165 acres are two mountain lakes and a variety of recreational facilities for visitors to enjoy, including campgrounds, cabins, picnic areas and hiking trails.

The park also serves as the western terminus for the 85-mile Foothills Trail, which crosses the states crown and ends at Jones Gap State Park.

Developed in 1935 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, Oconee State Park still features the craftsmanship of the CCC in preserved buildings and stonework.
