About Baker Creek State Park

Land leased from the US Army Corps of Engineers forms the base of this park, sitting next to Lake Thurmond. The arrangement dates to 1967, tying the park's existence to the Corps' management of the surrounding water and shoreline. Its position along the lake places it in South Carolina's western edge near the Georgia border.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
