About Croft State Park

Croft State Park sits on rolling, wooded terrain a few miles from downtown Spartanburg. The park covers about 7,054 acres and has more than 20 miles each of biking trails and equestrian trails, plus 2.5 miles of hiking-only paths. Visitors can fish and paddle on 165-acre Lake Craig, camp with tent or RV sites, use picnic shelters, and visit a playground. The land once held several homesteads and later served as Camp Croft, a World War II Army training camp, so old homesites and other historic remnants lie along the trails. The park also hosts equestrian shows in its arena.
