Lake Greenwood State Park, State park and museum in Greenwood County, United States
Description
Lake Greenwood State Park spreads across wooded peninsulas and coves along the lake's edge, with walking paths, picnic areas, and water access points throughout the grounds. The landscape combines forest and shoreline, creating a mix of shaded areas and open views across the water.
History
The park was established in 1938 when Greenwood County donated the land, which was then developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930s. This work created the infrastructure and landscape features that form the park today.
Culture

Practical
The grounds include camping facilities with electrical connections, boat launch areas, and picnic shelters spread across the park. Most amenities are accessible via main roads and walking paths, making it easy to explore on foot or by car.
