- Hickory Knob State Resort Park
One of the most important features of Hickory Knob State Park is its dual nature. Not only is this a state park where you can freely get in touch with nature, but it’s also a place that doubles as a lakeside South Carolinian golf resort. This resort has 18 holes and features a restaurant, archery range, skeet shooting area, and boat ramp. Fishing opportunities are also available on the premises, and you can find these on the Strom Thurmond Reservoir, also called Lake Thurmond, which is stocked with multiple types of fish. Hickory Knob is near the Savannah River, and you’ll also find McCormick and Parksville, South Carolina within mere miles of the state park.
