In 1935 approximately 2,860 acres (11.6 km2) of land was donated by Pickens County and the city of Greenville. The park was built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps(CCC). The CCC built a dam for Pinnacle Lake, several fish-rearing pools, the superintendent's residence, a lodge, shelters, and miles of roads and hiking trails. The CCC also landscaped the park using natural vegetation from the Pinnacle Lake bed. Much of this work remains visible in the 21st century.
The Table Rock State Park Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. It is also a South Carolina Heritage Trust Site.
