About Lake Greenwood State Recreation Area
Built in 1938, this 914-acre park occupies a series of peninsulas bordering Lake Greenwood, a much larger reservoir spanning 11,400 acres. The layout stretches the park's land across multiple points jutting into the water, giving it an extended shoreline relative to its overall acreage. Its position on these peninsulas ties the park's identity directly to the lake it borders.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
