The City of Camden transformed a former wastewater lagoon into an outdoor haven that will be an important part of future trails and greenway developments. The park opened in August 2020. Currently it features a dirt trail nearly a mile long, a boat launch (including an ADA-compliant launch), plus a half-mile meandering waterway that provides habitat to fish and birds. But with 26 acres, this park has a lot of potential. Future plans include board walks, more trails, and educational amenities. Eventually, we hope the trail will connect to other trails that can be created in the city and county, making a fantastic greenway for all of us to enjoy.

Chotty Trail
The Chotty Trail connecter is a 3.5-mile spur running from the east bank of the Wateree River through historic Camden, S.CNamed for the late Charles “Chotty” Mullikin, a celebrated World War II veteran and father of Dr. Tom Mullikin, a renowned global expedition leader; the Chotty Trail spur will ultimately connect Camden with the primary spine of the 500-mile Palmetto Trail which currently passes within 21 miles of the west bank of the Wateree River.
