Saluda Shoals has so much going for it. Lovely during all seasons, great Christmas lights show, The River Center is where we had our Wedding Reception, My Sorority has out annual Family Day at the Educational Center, its just the best. Easy to get to, the entire staff is pleasant and they have something for all ages.

We stopped here to take some photos and look for birds. We really didn't see much of anything but the park itself is really nice. Perhaps a couple more weeks into spring would have been better. The rangers and receptionist at the Environmental Center were very friendly and shared a lot about the area. The park has a lot to... More

Great trails but mainly access to the Saluda River. Christmas time has hot chocolate, lights and fun family action. Just a great little park.

We spent a July 4th day there when the grandkids were small and enjoyed their covered playground and splash pad. So much fun and such a lovely park. We would like to go to their drive-through Christmas lights display next year.

County park. Very shady paved pathway a few miles long. Great place to ride bikes or walk. Path is along the Saluda River and you can access the river or sit on a bench next to it in many areas. Would be a good place to picnic. They have a splash park that is open in summer....small kids love it.... More

Just visited and was impressed by the lights, magical. You could drive around as many times as you wanted to-perfect for the 10dollar per car entry. They even have created their own radio station so can enjoy some music as you travel around the park and look at the lights. Would love to return

We took my Mother and Nephew there to see the Christmas lights. It was well worth ten dollars a car. They enjoyed listening to the Chistmas music (Seeing The Dancing Trees). Great activity for all ages.
