Cedar Falls Park

Aside from the waterfall at Falls Park in the heart of Downtown Greenville, the Reedy River struggles to impress. It is just shallow and narrow enough to question if it is qualified to identify as a river, but rather a large creek or stream. Downstream from Greenville, however, the Reedy puts that question to rest at Cedar Falls Park. There, it widens to 200' over boulders and remnants of dams for power plants and grist mills of long-gone generations. As you walk its banks, it is hard to imagine that this is the same water that flows through our city's center and it is nothing short of mind blowing when you first lay eyes on it. Paved and natural hiking trails and a short jaunt to Happy Cow Creamery make the whole experience all the more satisfying.
