Cheraw State Park

Cheraw State Park is located in the northeast corner of the U.S. state of South Carolina. This large park is best known for its championship 18-hole golf course and the 300 acre Lake Juniper, built by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Visitors can rent kayaks, canoes, and non-motorized joy boats to explore the lake, as well as fish for the catfish, bass, and bream found in the lake. The park also has several cabins available for rent with views of the lake. There is no admission charge to Cheraw State Park.

History
In 1934, the U.S. Government, as well local citizens, donated 7361 acre for the parks. In 1990, an additional 1.4 acre was purchased from A. Wannamaker. Many buildings which are still in use at the park, as well as the 300 acre lake, were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps. It is the oldest State Park in the South Carolina Park System and the largest originating from the CCC.
