Paris Mountain State Park is one of the true gems of the Upstate. Just minutes from Downtown Greenville, it is never far in the horizon reminding us of its presence. Once there, you will find miles of hiking trails suitable for all ages and abilities. The mile loop around Lake Placid at the base of the park is perfect for those looking for an easy stroll in the woods while sections of the Sulphur Springs Loop are as challenging as you will find anywhere in the Upstate. Mountain biking, boating, swimming, and camping options are all available making Paris Mountain one-stop shopping for all of its visitors.
