Croft State Park

Croft State Park is a protected nature reserve spanning 7,054 acres of woodland and two lakes, including the 67-acre Lake Craig used for water recreation. The land features a mix of forest, water, and trails that connect throughout the entire property.

The site served as a military training ground during World War II before later becoming a state park. This transition preserved various structures and remains from different time periods that still stand today.

The park preserves traces of different eras at sites like old trestle bridges and a former plantation house that visitors encounter along the trails. These historical locations sit within the natural landscape and tell stories of past communities that lived in this region.

The park offers 50 camping sites with fire rings and picnic tables near modern restroom facilities for both tent and RV campers. Visitors with horses can access 32 miles (51 kilometers) of riding trails and an equestrian facility with a competition ring.

The park hosts regular equestrian events and competitions at its facility, making it a special destination for riders in the region. These events draw both local participants and outside spectators who come to watch the competitions.
