Welcome to Lake Conestee Nature Park
Lake Conestee Nature Park consists of 300 acres of beautiful woodland retreat on the Reedy River just 6 miles south of downtown Greenville, South Carolina. The park contains lush forest, large wetlands, 1.5 miles of the Reedy River, and a rich diversity of wildlife habitat. Deer, raccoon, beaver, fox, river otter, and other small mammals inhabit the park, along with numerous species of reptiles, amphibians, and over 130 species of birds.
The park is being developed and is managed through a partnership between the Conestee Foundation and the Greenville County Recreation District, and will eventually serve as the “southern hub” of the developing Greenville County Greenways System that will course from Travelers Rest to Lake Conestee Nature Park. The park is open free to the public seven days a week. Current facilities include 2.1 miles of natural surface trail, a 2/3 mile long paved trail, three trailheads with public parking, 650 linear feet of boardwalks in the wetlands, and a large wetlands observation deck. The paved trail is wheelchair accessible.
