    Tips

    February 16, 2024

    Standing on the summit of Sassafras Mountain puts you on the highest point in the state of South Carolina. At 3,554 feet, the peak offers multiple observation areas and platforms that point in different directions off the top of the mountain. Being part of the Blue Ridge Mountain Range, the peak is highly popular, allowing both car and foot access from the bottom to the summit area (there is a steep incline from the parking lot to the observation deck).
