Wife and I go walking on these trails about every other weekend. Trails are clearly marked, it's a beautiful location.

One of our favorite disc golf courses in the CSRA. May be a bit challenging for beginners, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Criminally underused park. I love this place and have been going at least weekly lately. I mostly use the singletrack mountain bike trail, but this place has so much more: disc golf, fishing, softball/baseball, playground, kayaking, hiking, soccer, an observatory, and likely others I'm forgetting. I've been going to this park for 15 years now, and have many happy memories of past visits with friends and dogs. Especially on weekdays, many times one will be sharing this park with just two or three other people. Aiken is fortunate to have this place, and I hope more people will adventure out and discover it.

Playground looks fairly nice. The pond itself is fairly overgrown and almost impossible to fish from the shore. A kayak would be useful, but be sure to watch out for the garbage and piles of human feces in the parking lot.

Questions & Answers

Is it free to enter and fish?

Jacob Allen | Sep 17, 2018

It is free to enter during the times they are open. They close at dark. It is free to fish there but of course you have to have a valid fishing license. You can fish from the shore or bring a boat but if you bring a boat you cannot have a gas engine on it. They don't have a lot of fish in there but you can still catch them. The types of fish they have are bass, cat fish, and brim.

Are there alligators in this pond? Can I let my dog swim here?

Stephanie Gurski | Mar 20, 2022
Calvin Zippler | Mar 20, 2022

Yes, there are alligators in every pond in SC. If your dog is big and you don't see anything in the water it may be ok. There are Beavers and Otters in this pond. A much better food for Mr Alligator.

Is there a lost/found for the park? I lost my prescription glasses on 2/20/22 on the walking path by the lake, the same side of the lake that the playground is on. If someone found them, where would they have turned them in to?

Don't know, but the rangers office is worth checking into

As far as I am aware

I like to fish very early right before daybreak. Is Boyd Pond accessible that early in the morning, or is there a gate that has to be unlocked to enter the boat launch area ?

I went through the park entrance and did not see a gate. The park office is on the right before you get to the entrance on the left. I have only been there a couple of times for birthday parties.

Yes the sign does say signup to sum down. We always leave before dusk for the sake of the wildlife and to make it easy for the law to patrol. There is no overnight camping but it is a most beautiful place.
