Did the Table Rock Trail as a first time hiker, and man it was hard (but doable! My friend and I both made it all the way to the top and down). We are both a little out of shape, but if you really want to reach the top you will. The first 2 miles are very difficult- lots of stairs and rocks to climb, and it’s very steep. There are several difficult parts during the last 1.5 miles, but it is generally pretty flat and easier. The view is insane and incredibly worth it- you will know it when you see it. The descent was SO much easier. It only took us 2 hours compared to the 4 it took us to reach the summit. If you are hiking the trail and are not an experienced hiker, bring TONS of water and snacks- especially in hot weather. I would not recommend taking your dog unless they are very fit and used to this sort of strenuous activity. The entire state park is so well maintained and beautiful. Also- I would highly recommend hitting Dacusville Pizza on your way out if you’re going that way.

Paid for visiting the park $19. Nice place to get to waterfalls, cool down, hike and beach access for little ones, who love splashing in water. Clean bathrooms, would like more people around as the park was almost empty. Parking lot is well maintained. A lot of space.

One of the most aggressive hikes in SC, which isn't saying a whole lot. However, it is more of an ascent than a hike. The cool breezes at the top make it worth it, and the birds and flora are outstanding, depending on the time of year. The primitive camp sites are wonderfully secluded, but car camping it ain't. Nice to have the camp store nearby for forgotten supplies.

Great time at this park. We rented a cozy cabin which fit all of our needs (family of 5). Loved the board games. Hiked TR trail to Summit which is about 3.5 miles of pretty strenuous hiking. Ate lunch at the top. Awesome trail just be …

Great trails and views. Cabin rental is expensive in my estimate. Small cabin runs around $180 for 8 per night. September 2018. Hard to get cabins for weekend in the fall. Not a lot of choice to drive to for supper. Take your food with you.

We are looking to visit in September, which sites are the most private, and shaded? Thanks

Kevin W | Jan 27, 2021
DaRatFromJupiter 0920 | Jan 28, 2021

Most of them are about the same, although the campsites are relatively spaced apart so you get more privacy than you would if you went to say Croft State Park. Last time I was there I had number 46 and was relatively private except for the RV directly to the left

There are at least 2 "simple" trails. Most of them are moderate to strenuous. I hiked around the lake with a 2 month old in a carrier and my kids ages 6, 8, and 10. They got tired about 2/3 of the way.

Has anyone hiked here in early to mid December? If so how were the trails and temperature? Thanks.

Paul T | Jan 28, 2019
WV Almost Heaven (Montani Semper Liberi) | Jan 29, 2019

The trails are maintained in all seasons. As for temperature, the higher the elevation the cooler the temperatures. Whatever the temperature in Greenville expect 10° cooler on the trails. Of course this is a generality. Dress in layers, with a wicking foundational layer.

Can you fish?

Joan Beal | Jan 28, 2020
James Tully | Jan 29, 2020

Table Rock has two lakes Lake Oolenoy and Pinnacle Lake. You will need a SC freshwater fishing license. Lake Oolenoy is just outside the park and is the bigger of the two at around 67 acres. Pinnacle Lake is around 35 acres. Good fishing in both lakes. Lake Oolenoy also has two nice size docks and fishing off the banks is easy. If trout fishing is more your style there are plenty of river and creeks nearby for that. Happy fishing !!

Each cabin is a different size and different price. 2 cabins (15-16) are away from all the amenities if you are looking for privacy. Cabin 16 is a large spacious 1 bedroom handicap accessible stay. We have booked at the last minute different times of the year. Wonderful park to relax and get away from everything.
