About
Parsons Mountain Lake Recreation Area is a quiet getaway in the northern portion of the Long Cane Ranger District within Sumter National Forest, near Abbeville, South Carolina. The 28-acre man-made lake is surrounded by mixed pine and hardwood forests and supports populations of bass, catfish, and panfish. Anglers can fish from shore, float tubes, or non-motorized boats launched from the on-site ramp. The adjacent 23-site campground operates year-round on a first-come, first-served basis at $7 per night. Sites have vault toilets but no potable water, so campers must bring their own supply. The recreation area also features the Parsons Mountain Lake Trail and Tower Trail, which highlight the region's history and diverse wildlife habitat. The historic Parsons Mountain fire tower is a notable landmark in the area. A valid South Carolina fishing license is required for anglers. Stay is limited to 14 days, and shooting is prohibited within 300 yards of the recreation area.
