Have you visited Oconee State Park in Mountain Rest, SC? This state park has everything from mini-golf to wooden checker tables, great hiking, and boating on the lake. Local mom Andrea Beam visited with her family and is sharing her experience!

We set out on an overcast (misting rain, which is so much worse, if you ask me) day to visit two parks.  Our first stop, Oconee State Park, made a mess of our well-laid plans. There’s so much to do, even in the rain!

Driving through the park, I felt like we were adventuring through the Blue Ridge Parkway. So much foliage, it didn’t matter that it was raining.
