Ultimate Outsider

In 2015, South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism started the Ultimate Outsider challenge, to encourage people to visit all 47 of South Carolina’s State Parks. To officially complete the challenge, you must first obtain an official South Carolina State Parks guidebook. Then, when you visit each park, you locate the Ultimate Outsider stamp, and stamp your book. Once you collect all 47 stamps, you have a Ranger verify you’ve completed the challenge. They fill out some forms, and then you receive a t-shirt, and bragging rights as an official “Ultimate Outsider”.

Of course, it does not have to be done in one calendar year, but if you know me, you know I do love a good challenge.

Why try to visit all 47 South Carolina State Parks in one year? Start here:
