Jack Nicklaus designed The Palisades near Lake Wylie. The course was carved out of thick forest that will eat golf balls if you are not on your game! A players course, no doubt. Membership costs $6000 initiation and $469/mo.

The reservoir is only about 20 feet deep with the deepest water by the dam.

Things to do at Palisade State Park Play 18-holes of golf, paddle or troll on Palisade Reservoir, then set up the perfect campsite. This park offers something for everyone, from its desert canyon golf course, RV and tent camping, to access for off-highway vehicle riding in nearby Six-Mile Canyon.

Pets - Pets are allowed at Palisade, but should be on a maximum six-foot leash. Service dogs are the only animals admitted into park buildings. Pets are not allowed on developed beaches or in the lake.
