The first hike we did was a total of about 4 miles. Two miles in and then 2 miles out. It was a pretty easy trail. Luna was loving it. She was a champ, I couldn't believe she made the whole thing without seeming too tired. The next day March 9th we went back and did two other trails and an overlook equality about 3.5 miles total. This is when Luna started to show signs of being tired. She would run ahead and than lay down and wait for us to meet up wit her. We didn't want to push her anymore. The two days of hiking a total of 7.5 miles was enough. We really had so much fun and if I had to pick something that Luna loved more than anything it would be when she is in the woods.

I made a loop in 45 minutes or so from the parking area with what is apparently an established food stand. There isn't a lot of space between the parking area and the side of the highway, so be ready. The scenery revolves around several waterfalls, the highest of which surprised me with its size. There is an excellent variety of terrain for a short scamper, and while it is an incline, people with milder mobility limitations could still reasonably expect to get to the falls in time. There is no charge to enter, and plenty of reason to make the falls part of your day.

Family hike #9; yay! Hubby and the boys hiked this trail back in October 2024 while we were…read morecamping, but I decided not to join, because my then nearly 2-year-old toddler was a sprinter (still is) and I didn't trust to take her on this journey. Didn't take her with us this time either; haha. Anyway, they were nice enough to agree to return to Wildcat Wayside with me. 3 waterfalls for the price of 1, except there is no price, because it's free! The hike was lush with foliage and a lot of the rhododendron blossoms had already fallen on the trail; I never knew they were so pretty. Saw lots of snails on leaves, millipedes, mushrooms; it was fantastic finding living treasures! Upper Wildcat Branch Falls was a slight disappointment to me as I expected more of a rush of water since it rained quite a bit the couple of days before, but it's height is still impressive. My boys also found salamanders and even a tiny baby axolotl in the water! I was blown away. To me the hiking trail was easy even with the stairs. I think I finally have built up a tolerance, because my legs no longer hurt after hikes I go on. It's only about a mile long, so it's not too bad, but there is elevation change and people who aren't used to it may find it somewhat challenging depending on stamina. I wonder if Pauly's Gourmet Peanuts Truck still comes around on the weekends, because it wasn't there on a Wednesday; would've liked to check it out. The trail was somewhat busy with hikers, but definitely not overrun. The weather was perfect for hiking, but it was cooler than expected. I should have been brave and joined the polar bear club with cold immersion in the swimming hole at Lower WBF, but alas; hopefully next time. No bathroom facilities are available here, so go before you come. On to hike #10! Happy yelping!

On the trail, I saw evidence of drug use- gloves and used needles. I don't have a dog but I'd be a bit nervous to walk one here because of that.

This park doesn't really have street parking- Cleveland Street is pretty busy here- you'd have to park in one of the business parking lots nearby or walk from the Falls Park area down Cleveland Street towards the Cancer Survivors Park, Sidewall Pizza and the Chamber of Commerce. Always well groomed and always has some seasonally appropriate blooming plants or greenery. It's not really a place that you'd need to go out of your way to see, but it's a very nice little green space in town for locals to enjoy!!!

The overlook at sassafras mountain is designed very well with an old castle wall look. There are stairs and a long winding ramp for those needing it. From the park g lot there is two ways to reach the overlook. You can walk next to the gate on a paved path or you can walk a trail next to the bathrooms. We chose the trail. Returned the paved road. Much easier. Lol. When you reach the top there are landscape pictures on the sides that let you know where everything mountain and notable towns are located. Pretty cool concept. The other great feature is the structure is built on the NC/SC borders according to the paintings on the ground. It was a nice little drive and view.

If you run or bike, this is the trail you want! This section is smack in the middle of downtown Greenville. It's very much similar to the Beltline and Silver Comet Trail in Atlanta. If you start from this section and head away from the city, you'll eventually get to parts of the trail where you don't have to worry about cars. Pros: - there's a children's park at this section - rubberized side section of the trail for 1/3 of a mile - great scenery (runs beside a creek, hits a big green space area, has some shops right off the trail about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile down heading away from city) - fairly flat - wide enough for runners and cyclists Cons: - no bathrooms (the green space further down has a bathroom but it's not opened yet) - first 2 miles do hit intersections where you'll need to be cognizant of cars - no quarter mile markers or markers in general Overall, it's the perfect spot to get most types of runs in (long, tempo, easy). Would highly recommend!
