Strom Thurmond Lake is popular for both fishing and boating. Fish include several species of bass, crappie, catfish, bream and striper. There are two boat ramps providing private boat access to Strom Thurmond Lake.

While at the Park, take the one-mile self-guided nature trail. Or take the " Wild Mint Nature Trail", a 10-mile bike /hiking trail including three interconnecting-loops which wind along the lake and park-interior.

Here is a description of this ten mile hike from the Baker Creek State Park web site:

“ From the kiosk near the park office, begin this medium to strenuous, rolling, hiking/biking, two loop dirt trail. You will pass through various habitats of oak and pine woods where some very large trees can be seen, including a poplar that may be the largest in the state. In lush creek-side vegetation, you may see a variety of birds, snakes, an other wildlife. Although the trail is easy to follow, watch for markers and signs to keep you on track where the trail joins forest access roads, and the main park road. Although, not especially technical or strenuous for mountain bikes, the roads provide access around some of the more strenuous sections. Go left for the outer or larger loop, which crosses the main road and passes the residence of the Assistant Superintendent, then returns to the main road. You can turn right, cross the bridge, and return to the pavilion, or turn left and ride or hike the smaller loop. Go right and follow Baker Creek for a sort distance. At the main road, turn right and cross the bridge. You can turn left and go back on the outer loop, or turn right and ride or hike the inner loop….Length: 10 miles of connecting loops.”
