Caption: Park Construction
Additional Description: Table Rock State Park was acquired by the State of South Carolina in May, 1935 as a gift from the City of Greenville and Pickens County. The development of the park was carried out by two camps of the Civilian Conservation Corps under the direction of the National Park Service and the South Carolina Forestry Commission. Major construction projects included the dam for Pinnacle Lake, several fish-rearing pools, the superintendent's residence, the lodge, numerous cabins, other shelters and buildings, and miles of roads and hiking trails. Landscaping was also done by the CCC utilizing native vegetation from the Pinnacle Lake bed. Most of the CCC work is still seen in the rock and log structures in the park, and the hiking trails to Table Rock and Pinnacle Mountain are still in use today.
