Hiking Trail

Pleasant Ridge Nature
(Greenville County)

Description: From the parking area, you will have an easy walk across a grassy area to the trailhead of this strenuous loop trial. After you cross the creek, you will begin a very steep rutted path for about 0.3 mile, but at various points there are information signs, where you can stop, rest a minute, and catch your breath. Once over the top you will make a not so steep descent into a thick wooded area where you will be treated to the sounds of birds and rushing water. Once across a short footbridge you will have an easy walk along the creek back to the grassy area.

Restrooms are available at the parking area. Insect repellent is recommended during the warmer months.

Length: 0.7 mile.

Fees: No fee.

Directions: From Greenville, drive north on US Highway 25 to SC 11. Turn left onto SC 11, and drive 2.0 miles to the park on the right. Turn right at the first parking area.

Hours: Dawn to dusk

Camping: Camping. Contact the park for information.
