Devil's Fork State Park Guide

Named for Devil's Fork River, this state park nestled in the South Carolina Blue Ridge is a favorite of many outdoor devotees. Here you can have the benefit of paddling, scuba diving, swimming, or fishing for brown trout, rainbow trout, white bass, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, bluegill and black crappie in the 7,565 acre crystal clear mountain lake. Hiking trails, like the 1.5 mile Ocean Belle Nature trail or the 3.5 mile Bear Cove Trail, are easy to moderate and afford a spectacular view of the cascading waterfalls. There is also a playground, picnic shelters and camp sites available for overnight visits.
