Helton Creek Falls

Waterfall
Nature & Parks
Scenic double waterfalls in Chattahoochee National Forest with a short, kid-friendly hiking trail.
The upper and lower portions of this fall both wading areas that are perfect for wading around and cooling off. The upper wading area is larger and more scenic. These falls are a short hike from the parking area but bring along hiking poles since some areas are step and slippery.
Wind S — Google review
Great experience!! 💯 % recommended The area has two main spots for wandering and even refreshing into the waterfall water. The lower one is smaller and not deep. The upper one is great for a swim (the deep level is about 5 ft or 150 cm). The flow was constant, so if you position yourself under the waterfall you get a free shoulder massage! There's no entrance fee, everything was free. The road to get here (Helton Creek road) is a bit rural and not paved, so during the rainy season it could be dangerous , at some point we even had to go through a small river branch (visible in one of my pictures and video).
Humberto M — Google review
Great falls and stunning views. There are two falls here, very close to parking but not handicap friendly. There are steps and some have big gaps. The deck has a few big holes, so be careful. Otherwise both falls have wonderful backgrounds for photos and wade around. I liked the upper one more for its pool kind and big space to wade and enjoy water and click amazing pics.
Atul S — Google review
Somewhat hidden and definitely off the beaten path dual waterfall (upper and lower). We went early in the am (just after sunrise) on our way home from vacation. The road up is single lane with packed gravel and lots of twists and turns. The path to the falls is fairly short with some steps and groomed path. Some moisture on path so watch footing. We had the falls to ourselves so try going early.
Michael C — Google review
So beautiful! Don't recommend going the way we went in a small car as you have to cross a couple creeks. But the falls were absolutely beautiful!
Jessica — Google review
Pretty short drive on country gravel road to this wonderful waterfall. Short walk down stairs to 2 gorgeous, tall falls with viewing areas. Easy access to wade/ swim. Colorful interesting rocks and fallen logs make for an enchanting discovery.
Mary A — Google review
Have nice pools to take a dip on a hot day. Has unpaved road n no designated parking space, but pets and kids will enjoy the lower waterfall as it doesn't involve any hiking.
Harish K — Google review
Beautiful falls, fairly short hike. Hiking was accessible to most skill levels with precaution. The entrance road turns to gravel, so don't turn back. Well worth the time., the parking was a bit crowded (Saturday morning) but manageable, Loved the visit.

Man, I wish I had bought something here and I regret it. Excellent artistry in their pottery. The building is really neat, as it’s an old mill, and you can feed the trout off the back deck overhanging the river. Thanks to the unnamed local who bought the fish food for us to feed the amazing trout with.
Josh N — Google review
Historical mill, now a pottery shop. Beautiful local pottery inside. Definitely stop in and check it out. The staff was very informative and friendly and shared the history of the mill as well as all about their pottery.
Rebecca M — Google review
Super friendly service. A really unique piece of North Georgia history preserved and turned into a place to find local artist pottery. The art you will find is high quality and beautiful designs! The best is the workshops available on the weekends by the artists whose work is displayed and fills the shop. Not to mention the breathtaking view of the river!

So glad our airbnb host recommended this spot to us! Absolutely beautiful pottery from local artists and a great view of a waterfall as well. Very nice staff and reasonably priced. Truly a hidden gem I’m glad we were able to see!
Sarah — Google review
Much more than we bargained for. The pottery was amazing, but a little more than I wanted to spend. We didn't know that the place used to be a grist mill and evidence is well preserved. Very cool! And the fish in the river were huge! Made me want to take up fishing. Although it's not allowed so don't get your hopes up. Definitely worth a stop.
C W — Google review
Fun little place to stop with pottery from multiple artists. We spoke with some of the employees for a few minutes and they gave us a run down of the mill as well as information on the potters whose wares we purchased. Very friendly and informative. The mill is also fun to look around and if you’re lucky you may be there on a day when you can feed the fish. We were not unfortunately. Watch your noggin going down the steps to see the indoor waterfall 🙂.

Tallulah Gorge State Park

Mentioned on

State park
Nature & Parks
Geologic Formations
Tallulah Gorge State Park is a 2739-acre reserve located in Tallulah Falls, Georgia. It features a 1,000-ft. gorge, waterfalls, campgrounds, and a former Victorian resort town. The park's creation was inspired by a highwire walk that garnered significant attention three decades ago.
Tallulah Gorge State Park is an amazing adventure! The hike through the beautiful trails and down to the breathtaking waterfall is unforgettable. The stairs add some excitement and challenge, but it’s totally worth the effort for the incredible views. For anyone with health concerns, I’d recommend skipping the stairs, but everyone else should definitely experience this fantastic place!
Sarath T — Google review
This campsite is very nice! The bathrooms were clean and spacious, which we really appreciated. There was some construction happening on the other side, and it looks like a new bathroom facility is coming soon, which is great to see. The trails were beautiful, and all the overlooks had amazing views — perfect for nature lovers. My two fur babies had the best time exploring and enjoying the outdoors! Overall, a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We’re looking forward to coming back!
DhongDhong T — Google review
An amazing state park, with great waterfalls, views, and hiking areas. I lucked out and got to visit on a perfect fall morning with high water flow earlier this month. Great loop trail. If you go down to Hurricane Falls, your legs will be burning by the time you complete the stairs back up to the rim, but it’s 1000% worth it. The suspension bridge is another iconic point in this park. A few notes - after overlook 1, I didn’t find the view at Inspiration Point to be better; it’s not that far further down the trail, but it’s also not necessary. And then the parking area has a gate that isn’t opened until close to opening hours for the visitor center. I showed up early and was surprised to find a locked gate.
David H — Google review
Tallulah falls is a bit underwhelming compared to other places for example, Linville Falls in North Carolina. The exhaustion of the steps def was not worth the view at the end. Parking wasn’t free. Overall the trails were maintained, a great amount of diverse people on the trail. Very family friendly. Bridge was nice. If you’re under an hour way I’d recommend but if not, I’d put more time to the drive and go somewhere nicer. I’m from the mtns of North Carolina and NC’s mtns are free and definitely worth the drive and views. If you’re reading this now, it isn’t fully “fall” colored yet just slightly.
Avy V — Google review
Absolutely breathtaking views! This is a must see, photos don’t do it justice. I would recommend good hiking shoes and walking sticks if you plan to go up to the higher look outs. The suspension bridge is awesome although the trek down and back up is definitely a workout. One of the best State Parks I’ve been to! Get there early on the weekends as it fills up and there will be a line to get in.
Patricia K — Google review
Tallulah Gorge is absolutely gorgeous, and the hike itself really isn’t difficult if you’re a pretty active person. I kept hearing how challenging it was supposed to be, but it felt super manageable and not intense at all. The trails are well-maintained, the views are amazing, and it’s an easy hike to enjoy without feeling worn out. That said, if you’re more of a beginner or not used to hiking, some parts might feel a bit tougher—but overall it’s totally doable. It’s the perfect spot for soaking in scenery without a crazy workout.
Liah V — Google review
We had passed the signs so many times and never stopped...until yesterday (11/11/2025)! What an incredible experience...from the front gate person to the info desk to the gift shop experience indoors all the way to the outdoor experience! The walk down to the bottom of the gorge to see Hurricane Falls was strenuous for me (I'm a plump person and former smoker...yay for quitting) and it definitely had my heart rate going 90-to-nothing! I would definitely visit again...but after I go and shed quite a few pounds... 🤷‍♀️😂
Michelle T — Google review
Very cool place to visit, only $5 to park and enjoy. There is some hiking required to see it all, but there are very nice trails and suspension bridge. Also a cool museum and a gift shop. I highly recommend!!

Black Rock Mountain State Park

State park
Nature & Parks
Black Rock Mountain State Park in Georgia is a stunning destination offering a variety of activities for nature enthusiasts. The park features a newly remodeled visitor center, campsites, and cottages, making it an ideal spot for outdoor adventures. With its 11 miles of hiking trails and a small accessible lake for fishing, visitors can immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the area. One of the park's highlights is its roadside overlook, providing an awe-inspiring 80-mile vista of the surrounding landscape.
What a beautiful gem sitting right above a quaint little town named Clayton. The view from the Visitor Center was incredible. It's the highest park in Georgia and you see for 80 miles from the lookout that you can drive to. If you're in Clayton go see this beautiful park. There's a campground, some great cabins you can rent and a few trails and some gorgeous overlooks.
Pam G — Google review
Black Rock Mountain State Park is a very nice place to visit. I stayed in the campground with my RV. The facilities are well maintained. Some of the camp sites are small, so check before booking. The Nantahala Overlook, in the campground is fantastic to view at sunset. The Visitors Center is well staffed and has a good selections of gifts. That's where you want to go to see the Black Rock Overlook.
Lawrence K — Google review
Went with my girls and mom to see the breathtaking fall leaf colors but wasn't yet to it's peak but the view was still absolutely gorgeous. The parking at the top makes it so easy to have a picnic without hiking up. The park was clean and family pet friendly. There’s a playground for 2yr - 5yrs, clean bathrooms and camping sites. There are short and long trails at the Black Rock Mountain. We had hit traffic on our way there and we found healthy snacks at the visitor center. We topped the day off with dinner at Chick-fil-A since it is close by. Black Rock Mountain can be a one day getaway.
Lucrative B — Google review
Nestled in the far northeastern corner of Georgia, Black Rock Mountain State Park is truly a standout destination—its high elevations, sweeping vistas, dense forest cover, and excellent trail system make it a top pick for fall-colors, hiking and nature-escapes. The park charges a $5 per-vehicle entry fee. A full day here rewards you: there’s a visitor center with souvenirs and map/info, restrooms and parking are available, and many trails of different lengths and difficulties invite you to explore. The signature trail, the 2.2-mile loop Tennessee Rock Trail, winds up to the park’s highest elevation point and along the Eastern Continental Divide, delivering outstanding views and a satisfying moderate workout. But the park offers more: ## The short but steep Ada‑Hi Falls Trail (about 0.25–0.4 miles one-way) descends into a rhododendron-filled cove and ends at a modest waterfall. It’s an easy “quick hit” and great for families or anyone wanting something light. ## For something more ambitious, the James E. Edmonds Backcountry Trail is about 7.2 miles loop, significantly more strenuous, crossing ridges, dips, streams, and providing a full‐on backcountry feel. ## There are also easier connectors/trail loops, such as the 0.85-mile Black Rock Lake Trail (easy walk around a small lake) which makes for a relaxing alternative. What I appreciated most: the mix of options makes it adaptable—whether you’re after a longer hike or just a casual walk with views. The fall colors here are excellent, the forest density gives you a strong sense of being “in the woods”, and the overlooks are just spectacular. Plus, its proximity (15-20 miles) to places like Tallulah Falls Beach/river adds flexibility for a full nature day. The visitor center and amenities make the experience smoother. In short: if you’re looking for a standout fall outing in north Georgia, Black Rock Mountain State Park delivers in scenery, variety and accessibility.
Sandeep K — Google review
Beautiful Park at high altitude. Stunning views and have sitting areas as well. The park has a few moderate trails with connector trails. Must visit during fall (Oct last week to Nov beginning) for breathtaking clicks. It has a visitor center, rest rooms and good number of parking.

A beautiful place in North Georgia could easily spend a few days here. Good hiking trails. Great scenic views. Good camp grounds. Very helpful and informed staff. Both the volunteers and park rangers. They have great knowledge. Visitor center and store is well stocked There is also a small porch at the back of the store that provides a great view. Plenty of picnic tables and shelters. Good clean restrooms .

Toccoa Falls

Waterfalls
Toccoa Falls, located on the Toccoa Christian College campus in Georgia, is a breathtaking natural attraction. The 186-ft. waterfall is set amidst a lush forest and offers a serene setting for events such as weddings. Visitors can enjoy picnics near the falls or explore the well-maintained short trail leading to this stunning cascade.
Such a cool site, amazing waterfall easily 500 feet tall or more. Great picture taking scenery. We even saw a wedding photo shoot going on. It was six bucks to go in for a group of four. We were able to go down to the actual bottom of the waterfall, not underneath it, but where the water sits. They have a souvenir store. It’s not government owned. It’s privately owned.
Angel M — Google review
I visited Toccoa Falls this past weekend, and it was absolutely breathtaking. Nestled within the peaceful, wooded campus of Toccoa Falls College, this 186-foot free-falling waterfall is easily one of the tallest east of the Mississippi, even surpassing Niagara Falls in height by about 19 feet. The path to the falls is delightfully short and accessible—just a flat, well-maintained gravel trail that makes it perfect for all ages and abilities. You actually enter through a charming gift shop called Gate Cottage, where you pay a nominal fee—just $2 for adults, and there are discounts for seniors, families, and children. On top of that, the surroundings are captivating—lush greenery, the peaceful melody of cascading water, and a serene atmosphere that makes it ideal for photos, quiet reflection, or a mini family outing. Even better, dogs on leashes are welcome, and those with limited mobility will find the trail accommodating.

🌟💧 “Toccoa Falls: Taller Than Niagara & Just as Stunning!” Toccoa Falls is an absolute hidden gem tucked right on the Toccoa Falls College campus 🌿💦. You park at the welcome center/gift shop, pay just $2 per person (super affordable 🙌), and the staff are beyond friendly and welcoming 🤗. From there, you walk through the back of the shop to the trail—it’s a short, easy gravel walk 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ that’s kid-friendly (though I wouldn’t recommend a stroller). When you arrive… WOW! The waterfall is absolutely breathtaking 💧✨. Surrounded by huge boulders and peaceful scenery, it’s the perfect spot to relax, take photos 📸, and soak in the beauty of nature. 🌟 Fun Fact: Toccoa Falls is one of the tallest free-falling waterfalls east of the Mississippi at 186 feet—that’s taller than Niagara Falls! 😲 This spot is definitely worth seeing, and I promise you will not be disappointed. 💙 Whether you’re local or passing through, add Toccoa Falls to your must-see list. 🌈

Was in the area and decided to stop by and take a look at the waterfall. It’s about a (3-5) minute walk to see it. Small entry fee of $2.00. Very nice, tranquil area and grounds are well maintained. Nice clean restrooms and great place for a picnic—🧺. The Waterfall is located within Toccoa Falls College campus. All the way towards the back of the campus. Worth a look — see if you’re in the area! #HappyPlaces❤️

The Currahee Military Museum, known for its connection to HBO's Band of Brothers, is a tribute to the soldiers trained at Camp Toccoa during World War II. The museum showcases exhibits focused on WWII and D-Day, including a historical barracks that was used during the war. Visitors can also explore the Stephens County Historical Museum for insights into the area's past and notable figures like Olympian Paul Anderson.
Great museum full of history. I didn't have much time, wish id had more. More artifacts than just ww2. The ww2 section was a little dark- hard to see some of the exhibits. A must stop if you are around.

My son was born on June 6 so I took him to this museum because it's Exhibits are focused around world war 2 but primarily D-day and what happened. It it also has a complete historical barracks that was used during World War II that they converted a horse stable into. Then took it apart piece by piece and flew it back over here and reassemble it. So it's a really great museum. We had a really good time wasn't rushed but was there probably from opening to almost closing if you have a chance to go.
Shaun J — Google review
Honoring the men who sacrificed so much for our freedom, the Curahee Military Museum is worth a visit. If you've watched the Band of Brothers series, you need to see this museum. You'll recognize faces and names from the series as you browse the displays in the museum. The museum has distinct sections that give history of the local area, including info about the Civil War, Cherokee, local industry, local celebrities and more. The last section is the Military Museum. There's lots to see and read, including a large wooden stable relocated from England. Some of the men who trained at Camp Toccoa spent time in this stable when they were waiting to be deployed during the war. We went on a Friday morning and were the only people in the museum the entire time. It must be more crowded on the weekends. The parking lot is large enough for a good sized crowd. If you are a WWII history buff, you'll want to make a visit.

Our family had THE BEST adventure at Highlands Aerial Park celebrating my 40th birthday!! Brad and Anna were our amazing guide team. They got the fun started from the moment we walked thru the door. They were fantastic communicators and helped us feel confident every step of the way. They coached our kiddos (12 & 9) thru their jitters. They were knowledgeable about the course, the history of the area, and the gorgeous nature surrounding us. The course was incredible. We signed up for the half-zip initially- but decided, as a family, to continue on for the full zip course. Lines 5 & 6 were stunning. So proud of my kids for digging deep and pushing themselves. Brad and Anna your encouragement was perfect. Thank you Highlands Aerial Park!! We will be back again!

The facilities are clean and well kept. We really appreciated was how everything was well-organized and relaxed at the same time. We appreciated attention to even small details like having a bag of hair ties for my daughter who didn’t have one. We’re looking forward to our next trip!

We had an amazing time at the Highlands Aerial Park today! We originally signed up for the 1/2 zipline tour to ensure that our youngest son was up to the thrill of zip lining. Our guides, Edwin and Lainey, were encouraging, cheerful, and comedic which kept any anxiety he had at bay and made him whole heartedly want to continue with the full canopy tour. The zips were and views from them were amazing! We would definitely recommend doing the full 8 zips if going! The entire staff was very welcoming, professional, and knowledgeable from the moment we got there to the moment that we left. We hope to be back again the next time we're up here! Thanks again to the entire staff and especially to our guides, Lainey and Edwin!

Our experience at Highlands Aerial Park was exceptional. Ben and Anna were outstanding guides who made the entire adventure both enjoyable and comfortable. Ben provided interesting information throughout the course, along with a few lighthearted jokes that kept the group at ease. Anna was incredibly reassuring, ensuring we felt prepared and confident before each line. At no point did we feel pressured to do anything we were uncomfortable with. We chose to complete the full course, and we are so glad we did — it was an unforgettable experience. We look forward to returning in the future and would highly recommend Highlands Aerial Park to anyone seeking a fun, safe, and memorable adventure.

Outstanding weekend at our new favorite place!! We had Phil as our guide and trip director the first day and Justin as our guide and Michael trip director the second day. Both days were amazing in the sense we felt very safe with our kids while having a great time with the guides. Amelia's pictures were outstanding and we bought them each day they were so good!! Lunch was a significant upgrade from what we are used to in West VA. The rapids were unbeatable, even though we did in fact beat them. Our Cabin Painted Rock was so far beyond expectations. Clean, cozy and very well appointed with everything you could need or want after rafting. Bravo to all of the team that we came into contact with, you are all first class and made our second daddy-daughter getaway so memorable for all. You guys have set the bar, and it is a VERY high bar. Thank you, John Romm 8/18/25

Such an amazing experience with this outfit and Phillip as a guide. We had an amazing time and always felt safe with Philip. His local knowledge of wildlife and cool stories was very entertaining. It perfectly broke up the trip during the few lulls between rapids. Lunch was great and the vibe was perfect. Highly recommend!

Unforgettable Adventure with the Best Guide Ever! We brought a youth group of teens from South Dakota and from start to finish, our whitewater rafting trip was nothing short of spectacular. The company was incredibly professional, well-organized, and clearly passionate about what they do. The safety protocols were thorough, and the river itself was breathtaking. Even the downpour in the middle of the trip was glorious! But what truly made the experience unforgettable was our guide, Hayden. Hayden was the perfect blend of expert navigator, storyteller, and hype man. He went out of his way to try to make the experience a special one and made us feel completely safe while keeping the energy high and the laughs consistently flowing. His knowledge of the river and its surroundings added so much depth to the trip, and his calm confidence made even the wildest rapids feel like a thrill we all could handle. If you're looking for an adventure that will leave you grinning from ear to ear (and maybe a little soaked), this is the company to go with — and if you’re lucky enough to get Hayden as your guide, you’re in for a ride you’ll never forget.

We had an incredible time rafting down the Chattooga with Wildwater! Our guide, Ethan, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, fun, and so encouraging. He even helped my 9-year-old find the confidence to do one of the rock jumps he was nervous about, and it ended up being his favorite part of the trip! The whole experience was well-organized, exciting, and memorable. We also got some amazing photos that we’ll cherish forever. Highly recommend Wildwater for a fun family adventure!

We took our annual boys trip to Wildwater Chattooga this year. 2 out of the 5 of us have never been whitewater rafting. All of us had a freakin blast! Our guild Justin and his safety team were all amazing. Very knowledgeable and focused on safety. Needless to say, we crushed the Chattooga! No serious injuries or anyone thrown from the raft. I would highly recommend Wildwater and Justin.

Dry Falls

Waterfall
Nature & Parks
Picturesque cascade with a path under the rocks that offers a unique, reverse view of the waterfall.
Absolutely amazing experience! Dry Falls is a must-see if you’re in the area! The waterfall is breathtaking, and what makes it extra special is that you can actually walk behind it — such a unique and unforgettable experience. The sound of the water crashing down is powerful, yet the trail is easy and accessible for most people. The path is short, well-paved, and gives you incredible views from different angles. Everything was well-maintained and clean, and there’s plenty of parking close to the trailhead. It’s the kind of place that makes you stop and appreciate nature’s beauty. Highly recommend it!
Niki G — Google review
We have become waterfall hunters and Dry Falls is a must experience to walk behind and enjoy its natural power. If Parking is full BE PATIENT because sight seers are coming and going quickly as it’s a short walk from the parking lot and done in 15 minutes max.

Loved the waterfall. Easy walk down several sets of stairs. Easy hike &you can take your time going down to the bottom of the waterfall. Great views. You are able to walk behind the waterfall. Beautiful setting. There is a minimal Parking Fee.
Danette K — Google review
Visiting the Dry Falls walkway and experiencing mist under the waterfall was worth the wait to get into the parking area. The road got a bit congested at the entrance l, but nothing anybody can do about it. Smile and be friendly, enjoy the falls.
Albert H — Google review
A truly magnificent waterfall one of the top 10 I have seen in my short life. Definitely show up early because the limited parking was a headache to deal with. There is several steps and is mostly an incline walk down and back up, but there several resting points to stop and enjoy the incredible view. Also take care where you step there is areas that may hold water and can make the rocky path rather slippery.
Allison M — Google review
You will not be disappointed here!! Wow, and it's great you get to walk under the falls! It's cool, literally and damp! So watch your step, it's easy to get to too! I know you'll thank me, and the drive! Wow cool crisp mountain air and not to far from north GA!
Jeff B — Google review
Very easily accessible from parking. Ample of parking space. Washroom onsite. Driving to the spot can be bit tricky, need to be cautious. The waterfall is a must see. You can walk inside the fall and cross to other side. Doesn’t need too much of time to cover. Can be visited in short duration. Not crowded. Visited during weekend evening.
Amit B — Google review
Parking was a nightmare (very popular and limited parking. Granted I stoped by around lunch time on a sunny summer Sunday afternoon.) Lots of stone steps combined with a short 0.5 mile (approx) “hike” down to the falls and behind the falls. 100% worth it!

Stumphouse Tunnel

Sights & Landmarks
Hiking area
Historic Sites
Unfinished mountain tunnel from the 1850s offering a 1/4-mile walk, with Issaqueena Falls nearby.
If you're into history, nature, and just a little bit of mystery, Stumphouse Tunnel is a must-visit. Originally intended to be a railroad tunnel in the 1850s, construction was halted due to lack of funding, and the tunnel was never completed. Today, it's a fascinating slice of South Carolina history tucked away in the Blue Ridge foothills. The hike from the parking lot to the tunnel entrance is short—only about 3 minutes—but it is uphill, so be prepared for a quick little climb. Once you reach the entrance, the temperature noticeably drops, and the air turns cool and humid. Inside, the tunnel is incredibly dark and damp, with puddles and a bit of mud, so wear shoes you don’t mind getting wet. Definitely bring a flashlight or headlamp—after the first 20 feet, it’s pitch black. There are bats in the tunnel, which adds to the eerie vibe, but they tend to stay high and out of the way. One of the coolest features is the acoustics—this place is absolutely amazing for singing. The sound echoes in the best way, making even a hum sound like a concert hall performance. Overall, it’s a fun, quick adventure with a lot of character. Just don’t forget your flashlight and maybe a change of shoes!
Mr. E — Google review
A cool bit of history here. Well worth the shoet hike up the hill. Very dark and wet inside the tunnel. The flashlight was a great recommendation to see where to walk. There is a five dollar fee at the park entrance. No easy to get change so bring small bills.
Teresa H — Google review
Fabulous spot to stop with family, have a picnic and explore the tunnel. Head right down the road to the falls. Its a steep lil hike down but totally worth it if you're able to get down to it. Thank you to all the locals and other organizations that got together to save this from being turned into a subdivision.

This was my second time to the stumphouse tunnel. It is so cool how far back you can go into the tunnel. The gate at the end of the tunnel really gives a horror or haunting vibe lol. I love the gazebo at the pounds near the restrooms. It’s really pretty.
Kory H — Google review
Fun, quick hike through a dark, unfinished railroad tunnel. Great for history buffs! There is a small walk uphill (not very strenuous) and the tunnel is damp, did I mention dark?? My imagination was going wild!! The signage mention bats but thankfully we didn't see any. Nice area with picnic tables, hiking and a waterfall also. Plenty of photo-ops and a $5 entrance fee...
Pamela B — Google review
Very cool tunnel but it is fenced off and you can’t walk thru. We hiked up top and found the old cemetery. There is an entrance for the area but Issawueena Falls is in the same fee area. There are picnic tables and grills and a good amount of parking. I would not recommend bringing a trailer down there.
Melissa G — Google review
This was very cool, however, I was a little disappointed that the tunnel is gated off about 100 yards in. It was enough to give you a taste of what the place was like, but really no opportunity to explore anything. There is a five dollar per vehicle charge to enter, for vehicles with less than five occupants. You can pay cash or you can use a QR code, but the Internet service at the gate is about one bar.

Michelle B — Google review
A nice park with options for walk-in car camping, RVs, yurts, cabins, and a group site and pioneer site. There are tons of picnic spaces and tons of access to the lake. There's also a nature hut that has scheduled activities. We didn't take advantage, so I can't speak to the quality of programming. There are a couple trails as well, though they seem more like walks than hikes. We skipped them in favor of water activities. My partner and I stayed at walk-in site #2 with our dog. The walk-in sites and yurts share an area of the park with a decent sized bathhouse in-between them. Our site was right off the parking lot so moving gear to and from the car was no issue. It was also pretty secluded thanks to some thick brush. We could hear other campers, but it wasn't disruptive. The tent pad was level and spacious enough for our two and four person tents. There was a relatively new picnic table and lantern pole as well. Sadly the fire pit was kind of sunk into the ground meaning it was difficult for the fire to get adequate airflow (not helped by the wet wood we were sold at the visitor center). We took our canoe on the lake and mostly stuck near the shore except for a trip to the nearby Tuggaloo island (see my review). There were a good number of motorboats and jet skis, but folks were respectful of the no-wake zones and gave us plenty of space. Overall, we enjoyed our stay! I'd recommend to anyone that wants to spend time on a typical lake or just have a nice park to stay that's not too far from Atlanta.

JOCASSEE LAKE TOURS

Boat Tours
Sheryl/Cheryl was absolutely amazing. We could not have asked for a better tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and educational about the history of the lake throught whole trip. She made sure she was inclusive to all members of the tour. I attended a 4 hr weekday public lake tour, with my daughter and a friend. We were seated with some elderly folks and another elderly couple with their grandchildren. She made sure that not only that everyone was safe but also enjoyed their time on the tour. She made sure to stop at plenty of waterfalls for the people who were not swimming, while also making sure the children (and myself because im a big kid) had plenty of opportunities to get out and swim. She made sure that everyone had fun and that was the best part. I can't speak for the others but the way she made those kids smile was the highlight of the whole experience. I'd like to add the shuttle from the public parking area to the boat was a nice add to the whole experience and I will definitely be booking with you guys again. If I could give Sheryl/Cheryl 1000 stars I absolutely would ❤️ Thank you so much for the experience ❤️

Wow, what an incredible experience on Lake Jocassee from the unspoiled natural surroundings of this lake, to the Emerald Waters and the beautiful waterfalls. An absolutely amazing experience to participate to learn about the region from our guide named Dan. He was a fabulous tour guide and really took the time to explain the history, the plants, trees, loons, growing seasons, and his experience with hiking and exploration. He was very enthusiastic, and also enjoyed being within his surroundings as he also jumped off the rocks, swam in the water and enjoyed the refreshing waterfalls. This tour is highly recommended, and everybody is knowledgeable, friendly and provides wonderful service. The water was so refreshing and almost therapeutic. And I couldn’t ask for more beautiful day!

Top-Notch Service and Unforgettable Tour Zack was an outstanding guide and made our Lake Jocassee trip truly memorable. The entire experience—from the initial phone call to check-in, the shuttle rides, and the tour itself—was seamless and well-organized. The staff was friendly and professional every step of the way. The lake was absolutely beautiful, and we learned so much thanks to Zack’s knowledge and passion. Definitely coming back with the family. Highly recommend!

Tricia was an awesome Captain! We loved her. She had an answer for every question and we had the best time on the lake! My only criticism is the process of getting everyone on the boats. We were told by the shuttle driver to go to the dock at 2:15, so we did. Then we were told to get off of the dock. It could be streamlined better. I understand it was Labor Day weekend and very busy, but it felt unorganized. Until you got on the boat, and then it was so great!

We LOVE Jocassee Lake Tours. We've gone on a few boat tours in different seasons and with different guides - all of them have been so knowledgeable and friendly. Our most recent boat tour was private for our family and we had the pontoon boat to ourselves. While we enjoyed full rides with others, the price for 5 made it an easy decision to book privately. We beached at waterfalls several times, climbed on rock formations, snacked from our coolers, and tasted local leaves and berries (per our guide's recommendation). The 4 hour tour seems to be the sweet spot for us - 5 was too long. We appreciated the size of the boat, the shade available, and the shuttle into the park. This is one of our favorite things to do in the area. We highly recommend!

Rented a kayak and went on the water for about 6 hours and it was one of the best times in my life! The staff there are great, friendly, helpful!

Devils Fork State Park is the best and most visited State Park in South Carolina. Lake Jocassee oh my god!!!🥰 Water is crystal clear and fresh. We had a great time and a nice relaxing spot with families. My kids enjoyed swimming for a long time. My suggestion best time to visit is on cloudy days, especially in the summer season, for those who can't stay outside for long in summer. Check the weather before planning to go to the park

Great first visit to the campgrounds and the lake! Water was awesome and clean. Roads are a bit narrow in the campground for campers. Beautiful waterfalls seen by boat! Not a ton of boat traffic on the lake for a weekend either!
Carrie B — Google review
Beautiful natural park with clear water, a lovely lake, and even some waterfalls — if you have a boat, this place is perfect. But if you're just looking for a beach day, it's probably not worth it. The beach is small, there’s no shade, and in most other areas there’s no easy access to the water — a big downside if you're coming with kids. The water is clear though, and there’s a restroom, a small gift shop, and you can rent a kayak. If you plan to visit on the weekend, make sure to arrive before 8 AM — closer to 7 is better — because parking is very limited and once it's full, they’ll just turn you away. We arrived at 9 AM and there were already no spots left. We ended up coming back around 6 PM — the park is open till 9, and by then no one was charging admission, so we were able to park and go in for free. However, restrooms were already closed by 8 PM. Also, don’t expect a peaceful nature getaway — the small beach area gets noisy, people bring speakers, smoke, hang out in big groups. It just wasn’t relaxing. If I had a boat, I’d definitely come back — but for a beach-only visit, it’s not really worth the money.

Absolutely loved the lake and state park (5 stars for both) but not sure why campground is always booked. Bathhouses were poorly maintained, we know it is state park but there were no clear instructions on how to get in the campsite after 9pm. we were expecting some sort of keypad entry only to find out that state park still lives in the old style lock & key and good luck, try working that in the night and hint of rain. do not even get me started on the dump station. this campground was on my bucket list for so long but will use the lake and statepark but will not camp again here.

Took the pups on a walk on the South Carolina side of the dam at the suggestion of our VRBO host and I and very glad we did! Beautiful view, even on a cloudy morning. There are stairs that lead up to the trail so be prepared. The walk is short but you can spend a ton of time just looking out at the lake. When you get on the dam there is a beautiful view of the the river. There were a bunch of Turkey Vultures and Black Buzzards today but they kept yo themselves.

This dam is about 30 minutes off the I-85 exit on the Georgia-South Carolina border. The Georgia side parking lot has a pier and campground area. So you get to approach the dam from below. This gives you a good view of the flow from the powerplant. The parking lot on the South Carolina side lets you climb up on to the top of the dam and gives you a view of the reservoir and also the downstream flow of Savannah river.

Clemson University's Memorial Stadium, also known as Death Valley, is the iconic 80,000-seat home of the Clemson Tigers football team. Since its establishment in 1942, the stadium has undergone expansions and now stands as the largest in the Atlantic Coast Conference. With a winning percentage of 74%, it's a favorite among students and fans alike. The vibrant atmosphere during game days draws crowds clad in orange and purple to cheer on their team.
Amazing stadium to watch a football game. You definitely feel the Clemson fans' energy and that Clemson spirit. It's beautiful to see people wear orange, and if you get a seat somewhere in the upper sections, the view is amazing! Every Clemson student must at least once visit a football game! It is a phenomenal experience!

The Fran Hanson Visitor's Center offers a vast collection of manicured gardens, natural woodlands, trails, and sculptures with free admission. Visitors can take a shuttle from the Martin Inn and explore the well-maintained grounds. The botanical gardens are easily accessible from Columbia/Lexington area and offer good free parking. While there may be some car noise near the edge of the gardens, deeper into the wooded areas it becomes quieter and more scenic.
My Grammuh and I visited the gardens and were so happy with how beautiful and well kept the grounds were. Plenty of shaded trails for hot days, sprawling grounds so you don’t encounter tons of people. We want to go back and spend the whole day and take the dogs. An absolute must see!

Visited this place during some down time right after graduation. It has a great variety of plant life, though I was surprised to see so many desert origin plants - was expecting more specifically flora local to South Carolina. I didn't explore as much of the vicinity as I would have liked, it appears there are trails that take you to additional cool places that I missed given the short time I had. But even the area in the immediate proximity to the main entrance is worth a visit if looking for an excursion.

There are other areas too, such as the one near the visitor's center, which includes different types of gardens, including one with cactus. But again I head for this place when I want to photograph birds, bees and other creatures. Here's just a few annotated photographs that I have taken at this garden.

Absolutely Beautiful Gardens! Went late December and while obviously more dormant, a few camellias still sported their beautiful pink flowers. Excellent variety of evergreen trees and shrubs. I loved hiking through the different ecosystems and reading the many explanatory boards. Would love to come back in spring!

Peaceful, friendly, extremely well maintained, low key historical exhibits and events. Interesting Petroglyph museum/presentation. Buy real stone ground grits that are ground right there! Good parking. Nice clean rear rooms. Very helpful volunteers. We went for a special event (banjo festival) which was smaller than we thought but will return for other events.

We enjoyed the grounds at the Historic Site. We toured the various buildings on the property and learned a lot about this place. We enjoyed the Mill Jam festival going on at the Heritage Pavillion across the street also. Cool place with camping down by the creek. The gift shop had multiple milled products that were for purchase and we got the Scottish Oats that we cooked later and did not regret! The lady employee inside was full of knowledge about Hagood Mills and wasn't afraid to tell you all about it. Quite the promoter. Definitely worth checking out when in the Upstate of SC.

Such a unique way to reuse a vintage mill. The more permanent stores are fantastic, and the shows they have are also great. Plus, there is a putt-putt course.

I have lived in upstate SC for many years yet was not familiar with the Haygood Mill Historic Site. My wife booked a visit there for our camping club and we had a great time. The historic buildings were very interesting, especially the mill and our docent Ron, was very knowledgeable. You can tour everything by yourself but I highly recommend a docent. It was fascinating and a step back in time!

Excellent staff and product. Did a tasting. Great variety available. Staff super knowledgeable even putting my selections in a good order. Premix margs and bloody Marys available along with jellies, hot sauce, and BBQ sauce. Sadly lacking on minis in both the liquor, jellies, and other items. Would have liked to taste non-alcoholic items as well but this was not available. Neat location and shop.

We had such a great time here. It’s perfect for an afternoon date. Lots of things to find as gifts. I loved the specimens I found. Prices were also great. Located in a very nice down town spot with restaurants around. Parking was easy.

By far the best bang for your buck!! Tons of big gems, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great experience and beautiful stock all different gems and crystals. Kids and parents loved it ❤️
Samantha M — Google review
See all photos— I think I got some good ones! This was extremely cool. Nice setup, very organized. Could find everything. So much to look at, its amazing. Very reasonable prices. High quality pieces. All different sizes. I’ve recently getting into spirituality such as crystals, singing bowls, meditation, chakras, etc so I really appreciate stores like this. It was refreshing. My boyfriend and I spent about 30 minutes in here but if we weren’t absolutely starving and rushing to dinner it could’ve easily turned into 2 hours. He bought some things too. What I ended up buying is in the last pic. So content with my choices. 🤩 ***Only “complaint” I have isn’t about the store in specific, but just something I wanted to mention about how early everything closes in Brevard. Need to be weary of that if you’re staying around the area coming from out of town, you might not be able to get anything to eat that’s not fast food after 6pm. Don’t really understand it.

Please like/comment if you find this review useful! Visited the Gem Mine 4th of July weekend and we had a blast. In our group was 3, 7, 9, 14, and adults! We all enjoyed the experience. Prices are reasonable and the customer service was phenomenal! There was a ton of things to look at and unique souvenirs to purchase of all varies prices. I think they are needing to expand their store to allot miners a little more room without being so close to the merchandise, especially for young miner and parent interaction. You can share your bucket!

CO y and June were so helpful. They helped us soothe for gems we got the green giant $66. A 5 gallon bucket it was $70.40 with tax. We found lots of treasures. We got two geodes and they broke them open at the shop for us. We also purchased cute jewlery at the store. They have cards on the significance of the gem.

Crystal Mountain gem mine was such a wonderful experience! Liz and Cory were so kind and knowledgeable. Their passion was evident and it really brought the energy to our experience!! Our daughters were thrilled with the gem mining experience and the price was super affordable!! We got the 5 gallon bucket and we ended up with so many breathtaking gems that were all a great size! We splurged and got 3 of our gemstones crafted into necklaces. I can not wait to see what beautiful pieces they'll end up with! The store was so cute. It had the best collection of crystals and fossils I have seen in ages. It alone was worth the visit. Thank you again Liz, Cory and Crystal Mountain Gem mine for the great memories on our vacation!!

Karen D — Google review
I absolutely have a great, well-rounded and enthusiastic post that will shed light on this church and help people make an informed decision as to if it's right for them. I went to the Haven of Rest back in 2016-2017. It is a Christian discipleship program for people of all walks of life. Some people were homeless, some had multiple felonies, some were court ordered, I went on my own intention because I needed a break and was in an abusive family dynamic. There were millionaires to former buisnesx owners there. Upon completing the Haven, I went to the YMCA to work out, and we went to basically every church in Anderson, Belton, Even Greenville, and other locations during my time at the Haven. One of my friends from the YMCA invited me to Newspring, and to be honest, it was home for me,and God used the church to love and help me through the relationships for where I was at. They have a pastoral team , yesnd it's foteighn to most as well as me, i. It ks in a lot of ways bu, it fails in many ways. Dan Lian is the leader tho he doesn't have the role or carry that as a burden. While Brad is very kind.I feel he is terrified to get to know me, lol. Clayton is a great guy. He is on staff at newspring yet he is as involved with his own ministry Crossroads ministry and Biltmore Church in Ashevellue as he is with Bewspring so it's hard to get as much of his teaching or his time. Even tho he and I would message, he took time to call Curtis Pless, who was dying of Caner. He did it because he wanted to encourage Curtis. His brother Bead was at the Haven of Rest also, and Cutis fought to help him with his struggles. Dan Lian found out my dad passed away and was the first person to call me and ask if he could help. Dan invited me and my small group a beautiful collection of young men and women to his house to watch a movie where a few Clmson football players also attended. He cooked for us, and it was a night I'll never forget. Dan came out to eat with our group, always making it so much fun. I went through a v4eakup that was extremely difficult as did several members of the group but Dan followed me out of the gym and said some incredible things that wil stay between us and offered to have me and my ex over or meet up to restore our relationship. He found out a girl named Whitney had used worldly advice to wedge the relationship me, and MJ had to a place of confusion. He offered to sit down with is also. He met with me and told me about my spiritual gifts and how God gave me the ability to not only build relationships but to have people invite me into their lives, homes, and dreams. How I could call up 100 pastors, business leaders, and volunteers, etcetera but how in Elijah's Journey comedy fled to the desert and while there was a great earthquake, a tornado, fire God spoke to Elijah in a small steel voice. He challenged me that maybe three voices, two voices, maybe any voice other than God's voice, was too many at that time and to listen for him to speak directly to me. He also got together with my friends and threw me a birthday party at Topgolf in greenville. He is a special man, and he is the glue that holds the church together. Well, I'm not a member of their addiction outreach program tho Allen cothran is. I have struggled with that in the past there is a place for people who need to focus on healing from that. My thing is to find people who Shine the Light Of God and to develop relationships with them for it's not who I was but who I am and that's a new creation in the image of Christ Jesus. I've met Trevor Lawrence at the church here he is a very humble and kind gentleman. And the friends that I was given my God he will admit the new spring were some of the most incredible beautiful, smart, giving, kind, generous images of Christ I've ever met and ever will meet. This church is not for everyone. See I have been struggling with so many other facets of life lately, and I haven't been to church in about 2 years. Well, I did have contact with Clayton and Dan. There are many different ways that they have set up to help
Debbie G — Google review
There's no better church in SC! Its hard to find a church home when you have children with special needs and disabilities. NewSpring not only has special needs programs (SpringZone and FuseZone) but they truly LOVE my kids. The church is in constant communication with us to ensure our boys feel welcomed and loved, while learning about Jesus in the best environment for them. It's a huge church, but every staff member and volunteer work hard to make it feel small and personable. We love calling NewSpring "home!"
Ashley S — Google review
The people and staff are A+. Childcare is A+. Was a faithful goer to this church for a couple of years and all and all had a great experience. However the concerns I personally had that may not be a problem for others, but important to know for seekers. I left after the Sr. Pastor played the intro to Guns N’ Roses and Metallica in the sanctuary at the start of his message, personally I cannot attend a church that would expose a whole congestion to that music. Many of the teachings from various pastors include references to secular movies and music that personally I wouldn’t sit down and ask Jesus to watch with me let alone encourage a congregation to watch. These may not be your convictions and if not you’ll love this church and congregation!
Boe G — Google review
The 1909 Scofield Reference Bible didn't just offer commentary; it installed a new political operating system into a large segment of American Christianity. Its footnotes hardcoded the belief that the modern state of Israel is a direct fulfillment of prophecy. This created a simple, powerful command: support Israel to secure divine blessing. As a result, complex geopolitical realities in the Middle East are processed through this rigid, century-old script, making support for specific policies less a matter of nuanced debate and more an act of programmed obedience. A theological update from 1909 continues to run on the hardware of modern politics, shaping foreign policy perspectives on autopilot.

We were visiting from Virginia for Anderson University parents weekend. We enjoyed the visit. I really liked the welcoming atmosphere, greeters, the coffee stations and the creamer. The worship leader was amazing, and it was obvious he was filled with the Holy Spirit. Our church is involved with the Clayton King's ministries through Crossroads Summer Camp. The message about Home To Win was a win. Great message brought by the Pastor Brad Cooper. Thanks for a great welcoming visit.

Absolutely worth the stop. It will take only a few minutes to walk to the view point. The view is incredible when it's clear and still very cool when cloudy. There are bathrooms here, vending machines, and a pretty well stocked visitor center with snacks, gear, postcards, information and more. 100% worth a visit!

DuPont State Recreational Forest

National forest
Nature & Parks
Massive nature preserve featuring mountains, waterfalls, lakes, seasonal hunting & hiking trails.
Just go here. As you drive along the very well paved winding mountain road through the forest, there are many turn off points which are well signed that lead to all manner of natural splendor. Many beautiful waterfalls, some of which you can Wade in the pools of, many beautiful Rocky cliffs, some of which you can jump off of, endless miles of crystal clear Rivers, that you can walk through, swim in, fish on etc. There are also many areas or you can pull off to have lunch, some with barbecues and picnic tables, some more primitive. There are busy places, solitary places and everything in between. There's miles and miles of biking and hiking trails. Whatever natural outdoor thrill you're looking for is very likely here, The vast majority of it is free, some attractions cost just a few bucks. For sure one of my favorite places to take my family.

I wish I had better planned the trip so I could have spent more time here. I was in awe of this waterfall. I’ve never seen anything like it. The hike there felt like a magical scavenger hunt- I saw so many vibrant mushrooms that I had never seen before. I want to come back to NC soon just to camp here and explore the entire park. The path to the waterfall had gravel and was really smooth. We didn’t bring our pups but it’s absolutely dog friendly! Remember- please don’t toss your trash out there!<3

The waterfalls at DuPont State Park are well worth the stop. Even though waterfalls are typically associated with elevation changes the falls we visited were fairly easily accessible. High Falls was definitely the highlight. An easy, slightly uphill, walk gives you a magnificent view. A more vigorous but doable trail takes you close to the base of the falls. Doing a little rock hopping and you can get within feet of base. Very enjoyable day and an unforgettable experience.

Excellent. I was intending to see Hookers Falls, but got adventurous and hiked Triple Falls and High Falls too. What a treat. Triple Falls was so beautiful. Although venturing to all of the falls was intense it was completely worth it. It took me about four hours to see them which wasn't bad..The trails and maintained and the bathrooms are clean. If you love chasing waterfalls this is a must see.

DuPont State Recreational Forest is (12,400) acres tucked away in Henderson/Transylvania Counties, NC. The weather was perfect! Had a great time hiking through a few trails, exploring different sections of the forest, including the visitors center. The waterfalls are breathtaking. There are (5) waterfalls in the forest. Lots to see and do, hiking, hunting, fishing 🎣 cycling 🚴🏽‍♂️ and there’s an equestrian 🐴 trail. Very crowded on the days I was there. Will definitely circle back this fall. Grateful I had an opportunity to visit. The world is a beautiful place, if you know where to look. “Where the water falls, peace rises.” from Journey Era Fun Fact: The Last of the Mohicans and the Hunger Games were filmed at various locations around DuPont Forest, including Hooker Falls, High Falls, Bridle Falls, Triple Falls, and other portions of the Forest. #NeverStopExploring🥾 #GetOutAndPlay🌞 #ProtectPreserveEnjoy🪾 #NCStateForest🌳 #HappyPlaces❤️ 8/2025

The walk to the waterfall was about 0.8 miles from the parking lot and really easy. The trail was nice, and the view at the end was beautiful. The waterfall is huge and peaceful, and we enjoyed just sitting and taking it all in. Some people were walking on the rocks near the bottom, which made it even more fun to watch. Definitely worth the visit — great for all ages!

The historic Fluor Field in downtown Greenville is home to the Greenville Drive baseball team. The stadium has been designed following the classic design of Fenway Park and Wrigley Field, and accommodates more than 5,000 people.
I like going here and watching games. I’ve been here twice so far and I know I will go there many more times in the future. Stadium is size wise, yes, a lot smaller than Major League Baseball but other than that, everything is great. Their all of facilities are very new and clean, kids play area is great, good food with reasonable prices, have many events that all the generations can enjoy. Many nice different types of restaurants and shops near here also since it is in downtown area. Great place to enjoy!

We love going to baseball games and enjoying them with friends. The venue is spacious and clean, and we can enjoy ice cream, drinks, and food inside the stadium. Everyone is very respectful and friendly. We especially like going to this stadium because it supports nonprofit organizations, such as the Hispanic American Women’s Association, which hosts the Hispanic Heritage Festival there to raise funds for scholarships for young students going to college. I believe it’s important to support businesses and establishments that give back to the community.

Fluor Field is a fun and welcoming place to watch a ball game. It’s unique as it includes the green monster in homage to its major league affiliate the Boston Red Sox. It’s great to see the stars of tomorrow in downtown Greenville. I highly recommend going on white claw Wednesday’s when they’re only 3 dollars. The fireworks after many of the home games are a great addition to cap off a fun night.
Patrick — Google review
Absolutely stunning field! The facilities were spotless which is really difficult to do during an athletic event lol. We had seats on top of the Green Monster which is the green wall in the outfield. The view was incredible. We had an amazing view of the field and the surrounding buildings (a lot of work has obviously gone into this area). There were plenty of bars and restaurants surrounding the stadium so there was plenty to choose from. We found parking easily and affordably. I cannot say enough good things about the staff! I am disabled so going up and down steps is extremely difficult for me. The attendee escorted me to a restroom inside the team facilities so I wouldn't have to walk a long way. We chatted about minor league baseball and the different teams and fields which took away any awkwardness whatsoever. He then showed me where to meet him to get to an elevator after the game. He actually was waiting for me to make sure I got turned around correctly. While I was in the facilities I met one of the vice presidents and a couple of her interns. They were very down-to-earth and very friendly. We will definitely be making another trip up here! It is about a 2-hour ride but it was worth every single minute!
Beth — Google review
Tonight we went to our first game as SC residents. We were occasional Fenway Park fans, so we were excited to see a game that in in a stadium that was modeled after Fenway. Its much smaller and more affordable BUT my snapchat to friends back in NH fooled them. They thought we were in Boston! We loved the free parking and free trolley ride to the park and back to our car after the game. And, hats off to Greenville, SC police for posting at the parking lots for fan safety. That was awesome! Though we are Red Sox fans i must admit that we spent more time at Lowell Spinners games. We always found minors league MBL games to be more dynamic and way more affordable than Fenway. Boston is simply expensive. Period. So, we are delighted to find a Red Sox farm team close to our new home. BUT... and its a big one. The crowd is soooooo mellow. I think that the park tries to jazz things up, but the people could be a little more ummmm excited?? Also, just a suggestion for the owners of Fluor Field. I think you nailed it. Your park is truly a mini-Fenway and its wonderful, clean and your employees are fantastic. But... it cannot be a true replica of the real thing until you get a Dunks. I am not the biggest fan of Dunks, but I found myself wanting a Dunks iced coffee REAL BAD. Its part of the Fenway experience... along with the Sam Adams.. wink wink... power suggestion. Thank you Fluor Field and the Greenville Drive for a wonderful date night! We will be back... many many times.

Falls Park on the Reedy

Falls Park on the Reedy is a stunning park located in downtown Greenville, South Carolina. It is often referred to as the "crown jewel" of the area and offers breathtaking views of the Reedy River Falls from the unique Liberty Bridge. The bridge, which is 345 feet long and 12 feet wide, provides an incredible vantage point for visitors to admire the natural beauty of the park.
Greenville is such a pretty town that offers a safe environment downtown with tons of entertainment and food options. This little park is so cute. While we were there, a man was placing some live music and so many young adults and older adults were having a blast- dancing to the music. It was nice to see such a small city come to life.

This was a very smart move the city made in creating this public environment for all to enjoy. They're lucky that they have this natural waterfall feature in their town. it's a great for the locals and a awesome place to stop as you travel. There's a parking garage nearby the charge $3 an hour we stayed for about 3 hours it was plenty of time to relax walk around grab something to eat and head on to our next adventure. The kids like going down to the water and walk on the cross the rocks. It was a very beautiful, and romantic we seen a couple get engaged there. Looking forward to our next visit there.

Amazed to see the waterfall inside the park & inside the city :) it was charming beautiful & clean. Entry is free. Fascinating to that park & surrounding areas were reclaimed & redeveloped - I can imagine it would have been such taunting task. Reedy riverside walk is awesome. Bridge adds to the beauty.

This park was so beautiful!! And it was within walking distance of our hotel (Embassy Suites). It was so peaceful here. We walked down the creek for about a mile. It was nice to see people enjoying such a beautiful green space together. There were walkers, joggers, and bikers all on the trail and people fishing in the creek. This is definitely a must visit if in the Greenville area.

It’s our first trip to Greenville and this downtown area is so impressive it makes you want to sell everything back home and move here!! So many dining options, then a great path to take an evening stroll, watch the waterfalls and the ducks. We loved it!

It’s truly a beautiful park with so much to see and well-maintained trails. You can even get into the water, and there are plenty of spots to relax or enjoy a picnic. If you’re visiting Greenville, I definitely recommend stopping by here. We parked a bit farther away, but parking was free for two hours.

What an outstanding place located right in the heart of downtown Greenville, South Carolina. The river played a major role in the development of the city from its settlement days forward. The park and the immediate area pay homage to that. A magnificent curved bridge spans the river high above, allowing terrific views of the falls and the rocks that form the bed of the river. There was not much water flow the day we were there, October 18th, but my understanding is that when there is a lot of rain it is an incredible sight to see. There are a lot of activities, restaurants, points of interest, and things to see within walking distance of Falls Park, so find a parking spot and take it all in!

Wow! This place is Beautiful! I could spend the whole day there! We are visiting and my cousin took us there yesterday and we thoroughly enjoyed our time! She said on Saturday they close down the street and put up a market. We are absolutely going to go back for that!🙂

The Peace Center Concert Hall, located in the heart of Greenville next to Falls Park, is a prominent cultural hub for the performing arts. With a 2,100-seat concert hall, a 400-seat theater, and an advanced amphitheater, it hosts over 300 events annually.

We went there to watch Hamilton’. The show itself was amazing but I also know the atmosphere of this concert hall made me feel even more magical. I really enjoyed my time there and will definitely go there sometime soon again.

Not a bad seat in the house. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Great place to see anything you like from Greenville's amazing Symphony Orchestra to plays and concerts. The acoustics are excellent for sound transmission and quality. It's a lovely building too.

Received an in person tour from Lindsay a week before my event. Needed to see a better view of seat uptime before I purchased. Tour was very good. Lindsay was very kind and helpful. Seats were every comfortable. Aisle way is bigger than expected so no problems there. The balcony is in fact high as hell. Just like all the comments mentioned. If that doesn't matter to you... it is a great view. Hope this helps. You can also look up view from my seat online and it will help as well. Learned that from Lindsay.

Peace Center was very easy to find being in a great location. There are tons of employees to accommodate finding your way, whether it be to find the restrooms or even a cocktail. Memorabilia station was quick and organized. The show Back to the Future was great. This was a gift given to us and isn't our normal entertainment but enjoyed the show. It was even equipped with a REAL DeLoren, moving stages and of course lots of singing.

Went here for the Witcher In Concert tour. Was a wonderful concert made better by this nice concert hall. Very spacious and comfortable seating for what it is and the outside of the hall was very clean and aesthetically pleasing to look at. Concessions were courteous and fast as well. All around, great.

Greenville Zoo

Mentioned on

Zoo
Nestled in Cleveland Park at 150 Cleveland Park Drive, the Greenville Zoo is a modest yet captivating destination showcasing a diverse array of mammals, reptiles, and amphibians from around the globe. Established in 1960 with a mission to foster an appreciation for nature and wildlife while promoting conservation education, this zoo offers an assortment of habitats housing African lions, giraffes, Amur leopards, domestic animals, reptiles, frogs, and snakes.
A nice and interesting zoo with a relaxed atmosphere and very few crowds, which made the visit more enjoyable. Around 20% of the enclosures were empty, which was a bit disappointing, but there were still enough animals to make the visit worthwhile. It took me about an hour to walk through the entire zoo, and overall, I’m glad I came. A pleasant and peaceful way to spend some time.

Smaller zoo which makes it great for toddlers! We were able to walk through in less than 2 hours. We purchased our tickets ahead of time, walked right in, and had no problems! They allow you to bring in outside food and drink as well which is always helpful with kids. The biggest attraction is the giraffes. We were able to feed them right at 10am when the exhibit opened. Would definitely recommend if you have kids in the area!
Abbie C — Google review
It's a small downtown zoo, so you have to have perspective. You can walk the entire thing while taking your time at each enclosure in 90 minutes. So if you are expecting the NC zoo size, then it's quite different. The variety of animals is quite good and on a calm and pleasant day you got to see everyone active. Distance to every animal is fairly close so getting pictures or seeing their movement is really easy. The entire park was clean, well laid out, and simple to navigate. Pricing was typical for concessions and souvenirs, and gate price was lower than your really big zoos which was nice to see. I was very impressed with what you were able to experience while being wedged into a near downtown area. I will come back.

Greenville zoo is a fun place for a family outing! If you can, I suggest you buy tickets online as it saves you $2 per ticket and all you have to do when you come to the gate is give the confirmation number and you are all set! I went on a Thursday and it wasn't that busy at all! I went with a friend and our young kids and they loved it! Especially the Orangutans and the Monkeys. We only had 2.5 hours to spend there including having our packed lunch which took a half hour of that time. We would have easily spent 3 hours in the zoo part and probably another hour at the park outside the zoo.
Esther L — Google review
This is a small zoo. It's beautifully maintained. The animal habitats are well-designed and constructed. The exotic animals, birds, reptiles, and tortoises we saw looked in peak condition. The Barnyard exhibit is empty. It is going to be rebuilt. There was no litter or graffiti. It was our first visit. We definitely plan to visit again.
Bobbers G — Google review
Such a fun time! Was busy but not over crowded. Went at 11 AM and left around 1 PM. Got to visit multiple areas more than once. It took us about 45 minutes to get through the whole zoo. Short sweet and cute for a quick spur of the moment, need something to do on a Saturday.

Fun day at the zoo with the kids and grands. Small zoo and some exhibits were closed. But still a cute zoo to visit. Very hot the day we went. They had misting stations around zoo, which helped cool things off.

Great spot for a family outing! We went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn’t too busy, which made it easy to enjoy. It’s the perfect size for a 2-hour visit—you can see everything without feeling rushed. Our 3-year-old especially loved feeding Miles the giraffe, which was definitely a highlight. A fun, laid-back experience for families with young kids.

For Valentines Day, my man had an entire day of surprises, and our first stop was City Scape Winery. We traveled about 2 hours to get there, and walking in was so cozy and inviting. Brittany greeted us as soon as we walked in and asked if we had reservations, which we did not and she informed us they were booked for seating, but we could sit at the bar inside or outside. We decided to take a seat at the bar. Although it was not on the menu, we asked if they did flights of wine. She informed us they did, and the little wine glasses from the flight were complementary to keep. I was excited. We picked 4 out, which we wrote on a little slip. Caleb was the one to pour our flight and was a delight He asked us if we needed anything else and gave us a little box to walk our flight glasses as we decided to go outside and enjoy the cool, beautiful sunny weather and scenery. Once we finished our flight we decided to go back to the bar and were greeted by Kara, we bought 2 full glasses of wine. As we finished up, we enjoyed 3 particular wines so much we bought bottles and 2 aerator toppers. The entire atmosphere was beautiful and the establishment was very clean. There were plenty of places to sit as we sipped. The employees were all very nice, welcoming, and attentive to any of our needs. Even though we were traveling through, we will most likely go back again. It's definitely a great first impression on us and a shout out to Brittany, Caleb, and Kara for taking such great care for us during our experience !

We got married at here in April and it was absolutely perfect. We did more of an elopement feel with a small ceremony and dinner. Tess was AMAZING to work with!!!!!!! She helped me with every detail from the schedule to the seating for the ceremony and seating for the dinner and catering set up and so much more. Every detail was perfect!! She made the process so simple. Tess helped set up everything, asked all the right questions, and truly made the day amazing. Other staff were so kind. Bebe fixed my hair right before I walked down the aisle!!!! I can’t say enough good things about our experience here. We also got engaged here the year prior and they custom made a label for my fiancé to propose!! We will be returning customers forever!!!

For our first winery experience me and my significant other really enjoyed it. We were greeted with a friendly staff. The wine tasting experience is a must with the amazing charcuterie board. My girlfriend really enjoyed herself and this actually made her birthday special with it both being our first winery experience.

Our group reserved a private event space here for our 30 year high school reunion. I worked with Tess to plan things prior to our arrival. She was amazing and so helpful during the planning process. When I arrived I was greeted by one of the owners who was so welcoming and she introduced me to Brittany and Caleb who were assigned to our party. The set up was beautiful. We had light and heavy hors d’oeuvres and with our event we were able to choose the 3 heavy options and we selected Chicken meatballs, Whipped Ricotta with Walnut Crostini, and baked brie. Everything was delicious! I asked Brittany to play 90’s R&B and it was the perfect backdrop to our class of 95 reunion. Caleb managed our tasting and he did an amazing job.!! We told him we liked more sweet wines and he changed some of our options that were on the tasting sheet. My favorite were raspberry, green apple and the Carolina peach muscadine. I highly recommend coming here for a group event. The vineyard was beautiful and shaded for a 5pm reservation in mid June.

We stopped here on our way from Savannah to Greenville. What a lovely place. We purchased 2 flights and a couple of bottles of wine. The property is absolutely stunning. Crystal was very helpful and sweet. We’ll definitely be stopping by again any time we are in the area.

We came to City Scape for bingo and have visited the winery several times before, usually with a great experience. The woman at the front counter was incredibly warm and welcoming, which started the night on a positive note. Once we sat at the bar, though, the service felt off compared to what we’re used to. Our bartender was friendly, but she would start talking to us and then quickly switch her attention to other guests mid-conversation. It happened several times and made us feel overlooked. There was also another young blonde employee who came across pretty short and made a “we’ll get to you when we get to you” type of comment that didn’t feel very welcoming. Overall, the vibe just wasn’t as warm or attentive as our previous visits. We still enjoy City Scape and will be back, but this particular visit didn’t meet the usual standard.

This place is amazing! Everything is Instagram worthy! The bar is so nice, great atmosphere with a scenery outside that is just lovely. My husband and I were here for the "sip and bites" event and there are no words to describe the experience. The decoration was dreamy. The sitting family stile was fun an interesting. The food was absolutely delicious and the pairing was perfect. They have the best wine on the region. the nicest staff ever, very single person we interacted with, beginning with the hostess, everyone at "sip and bites", the guys at the food truck... every single person here are the best of the best of the service industry. Please don't miss this experience and if you have a chance try their pinot grigio and the watermelon moscato.
