Roadtrip is rambling up the highway
this weekend to historic McCormick
County, which is several miles west
off Columbia on U.S. 378
Almost every place in McCormick
County is a stone's throw from a creek,
river or Lake Thurmond. If you couple
Lake Thurmond with the Savannah River,
three state parks, four Army Corps of
Engineer campgrounds and four dayuse
parks, you can see why McCormick
is often called the gem of South Carolina's
freshwater coast.
The other side of Mccormick's recreational
coin is a wealth of forests, which
cover 94.2 percent of the County's land
area. Sportsmen from all over the country
are drawn to the County's woods to
hunt for white-tailed deer and wild turkeys.
You'll also find trails for hiking, biking and

canoeing. Hunting and fishing licenses
and supplies are available at bait and
tackle shops throughout the County.
One of the best mind-bending activities
in the County is a drive along the Savannah
River Scenic Highway, which
rins the entire length of the County through
the towns that developed as a result of
early commerce along the Savannah River
and the Savannah Valley Railroad.
The highway rambles alongside Lake
Thurmond, through the forests and into
the towns of:
Ml Carmel ? a national historic district;
Willington ? a near ghost town;
McCormick ? shop as you walk
down sidewalks built over miles of gold
mine tunnels; don't miss the fountain
Cokes at Strom's drugstore.
Plum Branch?try the French cuisine;
Parksville ? watch the sun set on
Lake Thurmond;
Modoc ? named for the Modoc Indians
of Oregon; and
Clarks Hill ? the Dam and Visitors
Center are the highlight of this community.
The
Long Cane and Edgefield Ranger
Districts, parts of the Sumter National
Forest, cover 116,000 acres in McCormick
County. After this land was purchased,
