It's a good location to spend weekend walks or hike. Very close. Nice view..one thing there a wifi at information center..
This is my go to spot for mountain biking. That's mostly due to it being one of the only places to mountain bike. However, the trails are well maintained. The scenery is beautiful, especially the Spanish moss hanging from tree branches. This is a great place to take your family for outdoor activities. There are lots of hiking/biking trails, boat rentals, and picnic areas.
Beautiful trails to walk and a picturesque lake. We took family pictures here and loved this location. Make sure you download an offline map if you'll be using that to navigate as cell phone reception peters out not far into the park. Obey the speed limit sign if you value you car's suspension and or tires. The road in is paved but full of giant potholes.
I stay at state parks all over America on my travels and Poinsett is my favorite. Everything is top notch, form the friendly staff, to the amazing cabins, to the unique beauty you find everywhere. Highly recommended.
This park has great views, a wonderful lake, awesome trails for hiking and mountain biking and free wifi! Yes you'll need it as the location is in a Cell dead zone. Very quiet peaceful Park. Ignore the area of trees that are cut on the way in. We're not exactly sure why Manchester State Park cut trees but maybe they needed to pay the bills.
I love to go out here to walk with my family. We take pictures and read about the history. Anyone else we run into is super nice. The park ranger is helpful.
We really enjoy all the hiking trails. The trails are some of the best marked we have been on. It's nice to see all different kinds of trees ave Spanish moss so far inland.
This is an awesome little park. They have several trails that you can walk that give a fun experience and great views. There is a small pond and Creek that run through the area. And the bathroom facilities are very nice and very spotless. You can fish here too for small fish if you like. And there is camping and cabins for rent. It seems like a fun place. I've been here a couple times and I see myself coming back for more in the future!
The staff takes pride in their park and it shows. Our cabin was amazing in the attention to detail in the styling. From the furnishings to the handmade local soap, great care for your experience was in practice. I can't wait to go back!
Loving the cabin with some friends, very low-key only a few other cabins nearby and they are decently far I would guess two acres away, the cabin inside is suprisngly very nice and furnished by handcrafted furniture, the table, chairs, live seat, lamps and much more is handmade out of wood, very nice. The shower is also much nicer than lost hotels, the shower water strength and nice and strong. Tall roof feels legit, so is the screened in back porch with it's on handmade table and chairs plus a picnic table.
I loved camping here.the pond is amazing! The rangers are very nice and helpful. You should go check it out! : )
The way that the boat rental is set up, makes it difficult for people to get a turn. We waited 2 hours only for the boy working there to allow the same people rent it again! Then he tells us we can't reserve, it's first come first serve. But he continued to let the same people rent it over and again! Rude
They need a better system!
Loved every single thing about this state park. Plenty of well maintained and easily guided hiking and biking trails. It rained one night and the next morning the trails were in perfect condition. The campsites are not on top of each other, which I really liked. The bathrooms are spotless and the water pressure in the showers were better than any hotel I've ever stayed at. The park rangers were super helpful and nice. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this state park, cannot wait to go back!
