Pleasant Ridge Park

Marietta, South Carolina

Welcome to the beautiful Pleasant Ridge Park located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This beautiful park has a long history that dates back to the days of racial segregation. It was first developed by the State of South Carolina in the 1940's as an African American park, with nearby Paris Mountain State Park being for whites only. In the 1960's both parks were racially desegregated and both parks remain popular with local tourists to this day. Pleasant Ridge Park also boasts a couple of summer camps for kids with special medical needs, Camp Spearhead and Camp Courage. This park boasts over two dozen campsites, a 4 acre fishing lake (South Carolina State Fishing license required), hiking trails, and much more. Come on out and explore!

To contact the office please call 864-288-6470.
