Silva Terra Nature Park

Hiking area

👍👍 I am the coordinator of a dog meetup group in Upstate South Carolina. I heard about this place through a friend and decided our group should go check it out because they allow on-leash dogs. This is a family owned operation. Day passes are $5 (children under 2 are free), Annual passes are $40 or $9...

Saluda Riverwalk

Park

👍👍 This was a very good place to spend an afternoon. The parking area is ample, and the public restrooms a blessing! You may walk towards the sanctuary at Boyd Island or the other direction toward the interstate with either portion being about 3.5 miles give or take. Walking the whole trail would give...

Virginia Creeper Abingdon Terminus

Park

👍👍 We got a shuttle from sun dogs in Damascus VA to whitetop. This gives about 17 miles downhill. We also rode from Damascus to Abingdon the following day. This was harder but the grades are never that bad just the last 4 miles was lots of pedaling.

Chatuge Dam Trail

How much...

Rose Walk

Park

👍👍 Beautiful Fall sunrise over Lake Junaluska. Parking along the Rose Walk. The cool mountain air sweeping gently amongst the leaves of gold amber yellow and green. The geese drift on the lake and happy folks stroll the path. You don't want to miss the next display on the lake. If my review delighted...

Looking Glass Rock

Park

👍👍 Excellent trail. I can't believe this isn't one of the signature hikes. Yes, the seemingly endless switchbacks for the first half is arduous, but then there's just beautiful forest, the old helipad, some bouldering locations, etc. When you think maybe you're going the wrong way and surely at the end...

Patton's Run Overlook - Nantahala National Forest

Park

👍👍 The first class 2 rapid of the lower nanthala. Easily viewed from the overlook roadside or with a small bushwhack from the paved portion of the Bartram trail. This section is even better after the dam release finishes later in the day.

4.90 (191 reviews) (~226.71 km from centre)

👍👍 The crown jewel of downtown Greenville! A magnificent and historic nature park in the heart of downtown at the exact spot where Greenville was founded. As locals we are lucky to have such a charming area to enjoy for free. For tourist it's a must see. Plentiful places to picnic or just enjoy the ama...
