Welcome to Lake Conestee Nature Park

Lake Conestee Nature Park consists of approximately 400 acres of beautiful natural habitat on the Reedy River just 6 miles south of downtown Greenville, South Carolina.  The park contains both hardwood and evergreen forest, extensive wetlands, 1.5 miles of the Reedy River, and a rich diversity of wildlife habitat.  Deer, raccoon, beaver, fox, river otter, and various small mammals inhabit the park, along with numerous species of reptiles and amphibians. Over 150 bird species have been reported by the Greenville County Bird Club.

The Park is managed through a partnership between the Conestee Foundation (a non-profit organization) and the Greenville County Recreation District, and will eventually serve as the “southern hub” of the developing Swamp Rabbit Trail that will connect Travelers Rest to Lake Conestee Nature Park.  The park is open daily and there is no charge for entry.  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.
