Kings Mountain State ParkBuilt by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930s depression days, Kings Mountain State Park has been significantly expanded and modernized. A "Living History Farm" is a display of 19th-century cabins and other structures.

For the more ambitious, there is a 16-mile, fairly strenuous hiking trail. For those who have mounts, the 17 mile equestrian trail loop meanders through a beautiful wooded area. There is also a campground for equestrians. Fishing (bass, bream, crappie, catfish) is permitted in the 65-acre lake Privately owned boats are prohibited but row boats are available at the usual $10/day rental fee.
