Kings Mountain Grows with New Conservation Land | Columbia News

Kings Mountain State Park is set to expand dramatically with nearly 600 new acres conserved right next door in York County, thanks to a $5 million investment by the Open Space Institute. This marks their second major land acquisition near the park in just two years — and this new stretch is larger than some entire state parks in South Carolina. The land, rich with forests, streams, and wildlife habitats, will eventually be transferred to South Carolina’s Parks Department, ensuring more public access to nature while protecting vital green corridors amid rapid regional growth. Already a historic Revolutionary War site and beloved for outdoor recreation, Kings Mountain now gains even more protected space — part of a decades-long mission by the nonprofit that has safeguarded over 210,000 acres across the Southeast for everyone to enjoy.
