 Once part of a
World War II Army training camp known as Camp Croft, this area continues to play
an important role in preserving greenspace in Spartanburg County. Croft’s
rolling terrain of 7,054-acres and two lakes support an excellent habitat for a
variety of flora and fauna.
The park also offers diverse recreational opportunities for the adventurous
guest that includes a hiking trail, fishing, picnicking, camping, equestrian
facilities and more. In addition to its history as a military installation, the
park’s cultural features include remnants of a Native American soapstone quarry,
registered as a Heritage Trust Site.
