Little Pee Dee

Hello!  My name is Mastin Greene, and I am the park manager at Little Pee Dee State Park. I realized I wanted to be a park ranger when I discovered I could work outside in a Pee Dee slice of heaven, and "paint" on an 800-acre canvas.

One feature of my park that I like the most is the xeric zone, or dry area, down by the Little Pee Dee River. In this area, the sand belts downhill from our Carolina Bay.  It’s other-worldly and a unique ecosystem.

While there's so much to do at Little Pee Dee State Park, something fun a first-time visitor to the park can do is walk down to the lake and find "Herman" our Great Blue Heron.

**Our Ultimate Outsider stamp is located at the kiosk by the park office. 

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.
