Reviewed By Donna K - Toccoa, Georgia
I love to camp at Tugaloo, the sites are wooded and as private as can be with a large selection of waterfront sites. There are plenty of walking distance bathrooms throughout the park and the camp hosts do a good job of keeping them clean. Very family friendly.
2. Chattooga Ridge Canopy Tours
Overall Ratings
5 based on 176 reviews
Enjoy a soaring and gliding experience naturally fueled by a gradual elevation change in Upstate South Carolina. It takes limited energy to participate and is not designed to scare with big drops as much as excite with smooth gliding treetop views. Learn about the flora and fauna of the region as well as the Historic Long Creek Academy and the history of the region in this 3 hour adventure! New for 2013 is our 1100' Bell Tower Express and 400' final zip. 12 ziplines and 7 sky bridges in all! Must be 10 years old and at least 70 pounds, but less than 251 pounds. Youth rates.

My wife an I recently experienced our first zip line. I had planned it as a surprise for her, due to her constant mention of wanting to try it sometime. And it was a really great event. The guides where excellent with training and safety,...MoreThanks for taking the time to write a great review and let us know about your experience! See you on the river....
3. Stumphouse Mountain Tunnel

Reviewed By onemichael - Greenville, South Carolina
Plan to see Issaqueena falls, The tunnels, and the Blue Ridge Railroad trail. Stumphouse was started in the 1800's(1856) along with 2 other tunnels nearby. The plan was to connect Charleston, SC with the Ohio Valley but they ran out of money( cancelled by State government). In the 90's Clemson used it to experiment with cheese aging. Now it is for visitors and bats. Always about 58 degrees inside. Bring flashlights. Hike the trail as well. Parking is $2. It is run by the City of Wahalla. Cheers!!! good for all family members. It is wet inside to some extend. Easy walk from parking lot. Opens at 10am

We stop here on a regular basis. You can drive right up to a water fall and walk right up to it. There are numerous trails around this park and a nice river flows through it. There is a suspension bridge you can walk to and many picnic tables to lunch at. There is camping available and the park is well kept. A very nice place to visit...

Half day, Full day and Overnight trips are available March through October. In addition to rafting there are a number of lodging options on site, a three hour Canopy Tour, Kayak Clinics, SUP and Lake Kayaking. The Chattooga River is a natural flow river and has better rapids when the water levels are higher, typically in the spring and early summer.

Rafting with Wildwater was the highlight of our trip! Wildwater's team is exceptional to say the least. They focus on safety but certainly don't forget the fun! Nate was our guide, he was very knowledgeable about the river and shared a lot of information with us. We really valued his time, not only did he make our trip unforgettably fun but we also learned a lot from him. The provided lunch had variety and there was plenty of food to go around. The river is very clean, natural, and stunningly beautiful. This was a fantastic experience, we can't wait to do it again!
6. Issaqueena Falls

Reviewed By Marlene P - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Located on rt 28 just before the ranger's station to the Sumter National Forest. Walked to the falls with my cane and the most interesting part was the folklore described on the park signs. Clearly this walk would be better in springtime when the waters are flowing better. In the same general area, visit the Stumphouse Tunnel. This was a tunnel started for the Blue Ridge Railroad but abandoned during the Civil War. Nice spot to visit during the heat of summer as the temperature inside the tunnel is refreshing.

8. Hochstetler's Country Store

Reviewed By ramona0101
I brought the kids to Hochstetler's Country Store for ice cream after visiting Upper Whitewater Falls in NC. It was quite a drive, but the reviews told me it'd be worth it. They were about the close when we arrived, but served us first. We got minty chocolate chip and salted caramel vanilla. The Nestle ice cream was really very creamy and excellent, and their waffle cones were perfectly prepared.
While the kids were getting their cones, I noticed the store is also a health food, bulk foods store as well. I picked out a bag of honey sesame sticks and a plastic container of flax seed chips as well. When we opened the flax seed chips for our Turkey burgers that night, they were terribly stale. I looked at the date, and it had been "packed" April 2017. No wonder they were stale! Ugh! So,if you shop here, check dates carefully.

Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Gift shop is small but has very unique and affordable items that I like to purchase for gifts. Great programs for children. We are local and go as a family, and we also take visiting out of town guests. Everyone in our party enjoys the displays and I learn something new every time we go. This place is a true treasure.
10. Travelers Rest Historic Site
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By travelexplorer27 - Salisbury
Traveler's Rest was built in the middle of Cherokee land. Our pioneers were very brave to build a home during the late 1700's. The main part of this structure was built between 1816 and 1925. It was strategically located along the newly constructed highway over the Appalachian Mountains and operated as an inn for travelers along the road. The structure is a two-story, 90-feet-long and had ten rooms; it also served as a post office. It is built out of wide pine planking and has 6 chimneys. The front porch has 7 rooms on each level with separate entrances. The property also includes recreations of typical outbuildings of the 19th century, including slave quarters. This is a fascinating place to visit. I'm glad I wasn't a pioneer!
