Nestled in the heart of South Carolina’s Sandhills region, Sesquicentennial State Park—affectionately known as Sesqui—is a peaceful natural retreat just minutes from Columbia.

With its flat, easy trails and scenic lake views, Sesqui is ideal for outdoor fun with the whole family, including four-legged friends and stroller riders.

Join the Expedition Team for a walk along the Sandhills Hiking Trail, a popular loop that winds through tranquil pine forests and wetlands. Charming boardwalks guide you across the landscape, offering up-close views of native wildlife and wildflowers. Along the way, you’ll cross Jackson Creek, spot a small waterfall, and connect with the Jackson Creek Nature Trail.

Birdwatchers, plant lovers, and curious explorers alike will enjoy the abundance of nature — especially the fragrant sweet pepperbush in early summer.
