Parks and recreation areas

• Fell Hunt Camp

  Located just outside of Greenwood, this recreation area in the Sumter National Forest serves as a gateway to some wonderful trails for hiking, off-road bicycling, and horseback riding.

• Lake Greenwood State Park

  This upstate recreation area, also known as the “Lake Greenwood State Recreation Area”, offers some great views of Lake Greenwood. It has a number of picnic tables, campgrounds with easy lake access, boat ramps, and a fishing pier. A short hiking trail runs through the woods also. Additionally, the Conservation Education and Conference Center features an exhibit showing the history of the Civilian Conservation Corps.

  Every fall, this place comes alive with color as the autumn leaves appear.

• Ninety Six National Historic Site

  This is one of the more interesting military battle sites. The remains of the old Star Fort are still standing. You can also see a reconstruction of the Stockade Fort and an old log cabin that has been moved here.

• Ninety Six Town Trail

  The town of Ninety Six once had a railroad running thru it. Today, the roadbed has now been converted into a trail for walking and bicycling. It is also known as the “Town of Ninety Six Trail” or the “Ninety Six Town Park Trail”. Alongside it is the old depot building. Part of the trail is paved with concrete, while the rest of it is unpaved.

• Railroad and Mill Village Heritage Trail

  In the town of Greenwood, South Carolina, you will find a paved bicycle trail built along an abandoned railroad right-of-way. It begins on Main Street and runs about 2¹/₂ miles out through residential areas to an old mill village. For much of the trip, you are surrounded by greenery on both sides, and it hardly seems that you are so close to downtown. Although this trail is located in the foothills region, it is very flat.

• Rock Creek Trail

  This hiking trail runs through the woods along a small creek in the suburbs of Greenwood, SC.

• West Cambridge Park and Trail

  In one of Greenwood's historic neighborhoods, an old railroad switching yard has been transformed into a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. In addition, an unpaved trail runs from here to the shopping district along the SC #72 Bypass.
