Kings Mountain State Park, SC

I visited Kings Mountain State Park in November 2023. I had driven to this park every summer while my boys were young. They’d spend a week there at Camp Cherokee, a time they looked forward to every year. Back then, I never wandered around the park. I was surprised at how much I had missed. Beyond the usual camp sites, hiking trails, equestrian trails, it offers an 1800s replica farm which is both fun and educational. William McElwee, a Scottish immigrant had settled around the area with his family back in 1765 and set it up. Horses roam an area of the farm today and living history demonstrations are held there seasonally. I enjoyed checking out the vestiges of the farm that include a cotton gin, a well, sorghum processing site etc.

Enjoy the photos and plan a Sunday drive to this lovely and educational South Carolina State park that connects two states and three parks through its Ridgeline trail.
