Visit the “crown jewel” of downtown Greenville and gaze at the Reedy River Falls below from atop the Liberty Bridge, the only single-suspension bridge of its kind in the Western Hemisphere. Stroll within the park’s 32 acres of gardens, greenspaces, and historic ruins of mills that once made their home on the Reedy. At certain times of the year, you can catch a free showing of a movie or a performance of one of Shakespeare’s famous plays in this downtown park.

Take a docent-led tour of an historic house built in 1838 with 3.5 acres of quaint gardens on a small beautiful lake that feels like a secret romantic hideaway.

Designated an “Important Bird Area of Global Significance” by the National Audubon Society, this nature preserve’s 600 acres of beautiful natural habitat is a true treat for any nature lover. Not only can you see birds here, but you can find numerous other species of animals like deer, raccoon, beaver, fox, river otter, and various other small mammals, reptiles, and amphibians.

This is believed to be the oldest surviving bridge in the state. It is a 14-foot Gothic arch stone structure and stretches 130 feet over Little Gap Creek. Historians believe that it was designed by Robert Mills, the architect of the Washington Monument.
