New Mobile Version of the State Parks Website Launched

The S.C. Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism has launched a mobile version of the State Parks website to better serve people on the go.  The site at m.SouthCarolinaParks.com provides much of the same information as the regular website, except in an easier-to-read and -navigate format for mobile platforms.
