Poinsett State Park, State park in Sumter County, United States.
The 1,000-acre park combines mountain and coastal environments with trails winding through mixed forests, lakes, and distinctive rock formations.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed the park during the Great Depression in 1934, establishing facilities that showcase National Park Service rustic architecture.
The park's structures, including coquina stone bathhouses and rustic cabins, represent traditional craftsmanship techniques from South Carolina's conservation movement.
Visitors access 25 miles of hiking paths, 50 camping sites, five rental cabins, and a 10-acre lake for fishing, swimming, and canoeing activities.
The park contains rare geological features where mountain laurels and coastal plains meet, creating an environment where both highland and lowland species thrive.
