Located in Appling, conveniently situated 45 minutes northwest of Augusta, Mistletoe State Park is an outdoor oasis for water lovers of all types. This 1,900-acre expanse nestled on the shores of Clarks Hill Lake (also known as Lake Strom Thurmond) is a prime place to launch a boat, cast a line, or take a much-needed dip on a sweltering summer day. Adventurers who prefer to stay on dry land will also have plenty of activities to keep them entertained. An extensive hiking and biking trail network allows you to get up close and personal with the park's wildlife.
