I was walking on the Swamp Rabbit trail near Furman Univ this am with my little Shih Tzu. We were…read moreenjoying the trails when 4 cyclists with their "official" riding outfits cycled passed us like they were on the Tour De France, racing against time. They did not follow proper etiquette by announcing their arrival or ringing a bell. They even passed on both sides of me and my little dog almost hitting us within inches! Then laughed! How RUDE! I will find another quieter trail since obviously not all cyclists are courteous!

I hopped on this trail at Linky Stone Park. I was here in-town for a funeral and my cousin, knowing…read moreI'm a serious runner, recommended this trail. 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!

This is a very cute and easy .85 mile trail that goes from the Woodruff leisure center to the…read moremiddle school. Tip: If you are using GPS, then use the Woodruff Leisure Center address which is: 550 Cavins Rd, Woodruff, SC 29388. The start of the trail is right there at the parking lot. The trail is a very easy walk and is all paved. Which would make a nice spot for easy bike rides too. It has been on my list to check out for awhile now, and I finally got out there yesterday. I'm happy I did! It was a nice way to get outside and enjoy the beautiful day! Most of the trail is wooded, with lots of shade. There are plenty of benches along the way too. Would even make a peaceful spot to bring a book and enjoy some nature. I even saw a turtle laying its eggs! They have a new disc golf course too, which I believe is free to use? But don't quote me on that. They also have a little outdoor gym at the start of the trail if you want to get a bit more sweaty. All and all, as little city trails go, it doesn't get nicer than this.

We…read moregoogled par 3 golf near clemson and right down the road about 5 mins, in the heart of Pendleton is THE PAR 3 AT WOODHAVEN. It is a small but well kept course. The guy that runs it is fantastic, and really great coach too if you want lessons. They have a nice putting practice green and a clubhouse/pro shop with tons of stuff in there... They rent pull carts if you want them and they even have golf carts that are really reasonable too (who wants to lug their clubs all around ;) We had a thresome playing and had such fun and liked the course so much we came back again early and played again before we headed home. ONE TIP... do not use WAZE, or even Apple Maps to find it. or it will take you down this road called Sarrar Rd which runs into a dirt road BEHIND The course... not to the clubhouse. Just DO NOT TURN ONTO Sarrar... Stay on the main road (Cherry) and it leads to WOODHAVEN DR and their sign, beyond Sarrar... it is so weird but do not follow the GPS blindly, or you will not get there .

There are a variety of places to hike around the area. This would be the short hike with bang for…read moreyour buck. 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!

A little tip for those newer to mntn biking: You can park towards the middle of the park (second parking lot by the pond) and cut right into the middle of the trail, just be sure to check out the bike/hiker traffic direction sign located at the first parking lot bc you will occasionally run into those on foot (like myself)

The trail continuing on from the waterfall into the woods is not approachable at all. Spring and late fall are best to navigate. Too bad there isn't a group that could keep the trail better managed. Otherwise, the falls is running full and beautiful. Normally, a wonderful place to visit and cool off in the summer.

It's maintained and well-used. Park at the clearing on Brookbend Road near the bridge and cross the street and head South. The power lines are quite visible and the trail is on the right-away under them. It's maybe a half mile to the waterfall which will be visible to your right. Head downhill and enjoy the beauty from many spots. Continue forward beyond the falls and the trail is much nicer. It meanders through the forest and you can see the spillway from the dam. Be careful, but you can actually walk on it but you are risking your life by doing so! The spillway provides a nice waterfall as well. The trail continues and becomes a loop or it can be followed to the lake. The negatives: aside from the powerlines and the lack of marking on the trail head, this place should have a map posted to indicate what the history is and where you are. A missed opportunity! Head to Waldrop Stone Falls, which is very close when you are done!
