Little Pee Dee State Park

Sammy Goodwin
Park Manager
Hello! My name is Sammy Goodwin and I am the manager at Little Pee Dee State Park. I grew up in South Carolina and have been going to South Carolina State Parks all my life. I have worked for South Carolina State Parks for many years. I started my service at Myrtle Beach State Park where I met many rangers who inspired me to become a park ranger, including Troy Crider and Ann Wilson. After deciding I wanted to pursue this career, I went to Horry Georgetown Technical College and graduated with a degree in Forestry Management and Marketing. If you see me walking or driving around the park, come say hello!
My favorite part about Little Pee Dee State Park is the lake! I find myself at the dock very often viewing the wildlife and nature around the lake. From the dock you can also see the dam which you can also walk on. The lake offers many recreational activities, from fishing to kayaking to paddle boating and swimming and many more!
First time visitors to the park should view the lake and observe the many different kinds of wildlife.
Located in the South Carolina Sandhills region and named after the blackwater Little Pee Dee River, Little Pee Dee State Park is a subdued setting for those who want to enjoy the park’s natural features or fish the still waters of 54-acre Lake Norton for bream, bass and catfish. With its easy access to Interstate 95, and picnicking and camping amenities, Little Pee Dee is popular with coastal travelers and locals alike.
Visitors can explore the Little Pee Dee River swamp, examine features of the South Carolina Sandhills region and admire the Carolina Bay, a mysterious geological depression unique to the Atlantic Coastal Plain.
You can find more Carolina Bays in the coastal plain region at Woods Bay State Park.
