Paddling near Greenville, SC

Sitting at the edge of the Blue Ridge Escarpment in Greenville County, Greenville puts paddlers within roughly an hour of mountain rivers, flatwater lakes, and long blueway trails. The Reedy River threads through downtown, while the Upper Saluda River drops out of the mountains nearby. Farther out lie Lake Jocassee, Lake Keowee, and the Class I–V whitewater of the Chattooga National Wild and Scenic River.
