About Kings Mountain State Park

Kings Mountain State Park sits in the South Carolina Piedmont near Blacksburg. Visitors can hike, ride horses, fish, and paddle on its two lakes. The park borders Kings Mountain National Military Park, a Revolutionary War site. Its 1800s living history farm recreates a 19th-century yeoman farm with historic buildings and farm animals. The spillway shows Civilian Conservation Corps dam construction and is a popular spot for picnics. Campsites include standard, hammock, and equestrian options, and the park is a good place to see fall foliage.
