Jones Gap State Park
The Upcountry
Wild trout, including the rare, native brookie. Several thousand different plant and animal species. The unforgettable peace and repose of a deep mountain cove. It’s all at Jones Gap State Park.
Jones Gap and Caesars Head state parks together form the Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area, over 11,000 acres of pristine mountain woodlands on the Blue Ridge Escarpment.
Jones Gap highlights include the Middle Saluda River, the state’s first designated scenic river. Besides trout fishing, the river serves as a living lab for the park’s busy learning center, providing hands-on ecology lessons for young and old alike.
The park also includes restored portions of South Carolina's first state-owned and operated fish hatchery, the Cleveland Fish Hatchery, offers trailside camping and serves as an access point to the 76-mile Foothills Trail.
