Kings Mountain State Park
Kings Mountain National Military Park

Kings Mountain State Park is a 6,885-acre park located in adjacent York county. Built originally by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, Kings Mountain has miles of trails, equestrian facilities, group camping barracks, campgrounds, two fishing lakes with boat rentals and the popular Living History Farm.

The farm is a realistic replica of a typical Piedmont farm from the early to mid 1800s. Buildings include a house, barn and gin, and there are gardens and animals, including cows, chickens and a bunch of friendly cats. Regularly scheduled special events at the park bring in local crowds, and the park is also adjacent to Kings Mountain National Military Park located in both York and Cherokee counties, site of a pivotal Revolutionary War battle.
