SC Trails

This National Recreation Trail follows the Lynches Scenic River from Lynches River County Park to the confluence with the Pee Dee River and an upstream section of the Great Pee Dee River to just below the confluence with the Lynches.

The Ridge Trail is a connector between the Pinnacle Mountain and Table Rock trails. If you ascend the rugged Pinnacle Mountain Trail to the orange-blazed stones at the apex, the Ridge Trail provides an alternate descent.

This natural surface hiking trail connects Crowders Mountain State Park, Kings Mountain State Park and Kings Mountain National Military Park.

This ADA accessible walking path is made of recycled, rubberized material, and also offers four exercise stations along the trail. Let the children play in the enclosed playground as you watch their every movement while walking along the trail.

This is one of those trails where the moderate 45-minute hike along a recently constructed trail is alone worth your hiking time.

There are several huge rock formations, the most famous being Weight Watchers rock, a formation with an opening you can walk through if you are thin enough. Also, users will be treated to some striking views of Cleveland Cliff and Rainbow Falls.

This trail leads to the Congaree River, the lifeblood of the park's great natural diversity. Approximately ten times a year the river overflows its banks and pulses water through the bottomland forest. When the river is low, a large sandbar may be visible. Much of the forest along the river was logged prior to the park's establishment and vegetation here is noticeably denser than that of other trails.

The River Birch Trail is a hiking trail that parallels Lawson's Fork Creek, nearby Spartanburg Senior High School.

Cypress wading in dark water along the shore are just part of the scenic view of trees and wildlife visible on the River Bluff Trail.

From either parking area, begin this network of well-marked, color-coded, easy-to-follow nature trails that wind along the Catawba River, Manchester Creek and surrounding wetland. As you pass beneath tall trees, including black walnut, shagbark hickory, and sycamore, you may see a variety of birds, snakes, and other wildlife.
