Stamp #15 Cheraw State Park

Trail Map

One Saturday in September we decided to "get stamped" at another SC State Park, so we drove to Cheraw State Park. Cheraw State Park is one of only two SC State Parks that offers golf. Cheraw Sate Park Gold Course is an 18-hole championship course that is a major feature of this state park. Unfortunately, this was one of the few features of this state park that we were able to enjoy on our visit. The main part of the state park, the visitor's center, picnic area, camping area and playground we all blocked off and closed to visitors. There was not notice at the gate or online, so we were disappointed that we had driven so far to visit this park, only to be turned away! We were only able to view the golf course, a small section of the lake, the nature trail and the cabins. There was no park ranger anywhere to be found to explain why the park was blocked off to visitors.

The only trail we had access to today.
