DIAL 8286541 Enjoying a setting among the hills of the north central section of South Carolina, Chester State Park provides an interesting place for those who love water sports or other recreation. To reach this 923-acre play ground, one travels southwest on South Carolina Highway 72 from the city of Chester. A few days from now when the weather begins to get warmer, ardent fishermen of the area will spend hours in boats withdrawn into the recesses of a 169-acre lake. While the lake Is the biggest drawing card at this State Park, there are other attractions for the tourist. Although Chester State Park is not the largest state-maintained playground, it is an interesting one. After driving in at the gate way, one follows a winding road down to the lake and finds areas for picnicking and play. Boats are provided for either a rowing trip around the waterway, or for the fishing set. There is also an area for swimming. Overlooking the beautiful blue waters of the shady lake is a community lodge. It is in this building that many groups plan and reserve space for perennial gatherings. Nearby, friendly Chester with its historical significance and noted hospitality offers plenty of interesting sights for the adven turesome traveler. Atop a high hill is the square dotted with monuments and the business district. Main street runs down hill from the square into a valley. A person may see some distance from an upper story in any of the taller build ings atop the hill. For several years, Chester has attracted large crowds at Christ mas-time with its parade, one of the larger such functions ever held in a Piedmont city of Ches ter’s size. A feature of this parade is the appearance of Miss America. A standing request for this young lady’s presence at Chester is in the hands of the Miss America officials. Along with the First Beauty of the land, many queens through out the state prade on attractive ly decorated floats through Ches ters’ downtown area. Markers line the streets denot ing the historical significance of the buildings in Chester. While Chester is proud of its history and culture, citizens are ever on the move to get new in dustry and a splurge of new in dustrial development prevails. Chester is located on Highway 321 about 99 miles north of Co lumbia between Spartanburg and the Rock Hill area on South Caro lina Highway 9, famous as a con necting link between the moun tains and the upper coastal area. This trip is worthwhile to most any Palmetto motorist and af fords an interesting side trip to any who might be traveling through our state. Why don’t you plan to visit Chester State Park SOon.
