About Hamilton Branch State Park
A 731-acre peninsula extending into Lake Strom Thurmond forms the base of this park, with the land leased from the United States Army Corps of Engineers when the site joined the South Carolina State Park Service. The peninsula setting means the park is bordered by lake water on multiple sides, a fact worth weighing for anyone deciding whether to visit.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
