About this adventure

Located just across the state line in Fort Mill, SC, the Anne Springs Close Greenway spans 2,100 acres of preserved hardwood forests, tranquil lakes, and rolling pastures—twice the size of New York's Central Park. Winter brings quiet beauty to the 40 miles of multi-use trails, including scenic walks across historic swinging suspension bridges and lakeside strolls around Lake Haigler. Families can meet farm livestock including horses, miniature goats, and sheep at the historic barn, explore the interactive Gateway nature exhibits, and warm up with hot cider and sandwiches at the Greenway Gateway Canteen. The crushed gravel trails near Lake Haigler are wide and well maintained for jogging strollers.
