Pets are not allowed in or around cabins, cabin areas or other lodging facilities. Pets are allowed in most outdoor areas provided they are kept under physical restraint or on a leash not longer than six feet. Owners will be asked to remove noisy or dangerous pets or pets that threaten or harass wildlife.

Welcome! My name is Emily Nicholson, and I am the Park Manager at Paris Mountain State Park. The summer between my last year of college at Southern Wesleyan University, not really sure what my after-college plan was, I did an internship at South Cove County Park. After working a full summer there, I realized getting to be able to play outside for my job was pretty cool, and that I wanted to pursue a career as a park ranger. I got offered a full-time ranger position in 2013 at this park a few months later, then obtained a full-time ranger position with SC State Parks at Oconee State Park in 2016. I realized that having a job where I could share my passion for nature and outdoor recreation was right where I wanted to be.

Paris Mountain has many great features whether you like to hike, mountain bike, fish or paddle. While there are several miles of trails here, my favorite short hike is around Lake Placid where I enjoy morning walks with my dog around the lake. While walking around Lake Placid, my favorite view point is at a bench below where Shelter 1 is located. It is a great spot to sit in the mornings, overlook the lake and be able to hear the water going over the spillway.

As a first time visitor, I would suggest walking the Lake Placid Trail, which is less than a mile. The hike takes you on a loop around the lake where you are able to spot wildlife as well as see the historic spillway. Enjoy!
