10Best Says

One feature that you can see from just about anywhere in Greenville is Paris Mountain State Park. Located just minutes from Downtown Greenville, the park offers outdoor adventure in the form of hiking, camping, and boating at minimal cost and effort. Want to take the youngest, fresh walkers on their first hike? Try out the easy mile lake loop right at the park's entrance. Want to get an older kid ready for an assault on Table Rock? Trails at the top of the park offer a variety of difficulties to advance a child's love of the outdoors. Summer months see plenty of fun happening in the lower lake's swimming area where paddling and fishing are also fun outdoor options.
