Welcome to Baker Creek State Park Marker
Baker Creek State Park is managed as a Regional Park property because this core constituency is from the local region. Located in the heart of Sumter National Forest near McCormick, South Carolina, on the shores of Strom Thurmond Lake, this 1,305-acre park is popular with campers, day-users and fisherman. The park is situated in a heavily wooded area with rolling hills very indicative of the Piedmont of South Carolina. The park was built in 1968 to provide recreation access to the 70,000 acre Corps of Engineers Lake Thurmond (2nd largest lake in South Carolina and one of the largest freshwater lakes in the Southeast). Popular activities include all water-based recreation and multi-use trails for hiking or mountain biking.
