Laurel Hill State Park
A state park in the Laurel Ridge hills, with lakeside beaches for swimming and boating, an old-growth hemlock trail, and buildings from the 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps.
Laurel Hill State Park covers about 1,600 hectares, with Laurel Hill Lake (about 25 hectares) at its center. In summer, the lake has a sandy beach, a swimming area, and boat rentals. The Hemlock Natural Area protects old-growth hemlock trees more than 300 years old, and the trail through it is gentle. The park also has stone and timber buildings constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) during the Great Depression, which are listed on historic registers. Campsites and cabins are available. Entry is free, and the park is about 15 minutes' drive from Seven Springs Mountain Resort.
