One of the most exciting features of this NC property is the large amount of surface water that can be enjoyed.  Positioned in the center of the Reasonover Watershed this property holds the headwaters of The Reasonover Creek;  Wildcat Creek, South Prong of the Green River and Puncheon Creek.  These are fed by several other unnamed tributaries that bubble up all over these magnificent mountains. Long range views over DuPont State Forest, The Green River Valley and the Blue Ridge Parkway are found from almost all of the property.  In the winter you are also treated to views of the Piedmont of South Carolina similar to those observed from Pretty Place.

Neighbors

YMCA Greenville-

Since 1912, YMCA Camp Greenville has been providing significant camping experiences for children and teens.  At Camp Greenville, boys and girls ages 7 to 17 enjoy a wide variety of traditional and adventure activities - from swimming and hiking to horseback riding and rock climbing.  YMCA Camp Greenville helps campers appreciate the diversity of other cultures and become part of a global community.  When summer camp is not in session, Camp Greenville continues to provide plenty of great outdoor opportunities for families, schools, churches and groups. Camp Greenville's Fall/Spring program offerings include Environmental Education and Project Worth for school groups; retreat and conference facilities for church groups, clubs and organizations; and seasonal Family Camps for the old and young alike. Fred W. Symmes Chapel (also known as "Pretty Place" because of its amazing view) is one of the many buildings that make up YMCA Camp Greenville. It was given by Mr. Fred W. Symmes for the enjoyment of the boys (and now girls) who camp here each summer and is the spiritual center of the camp. The current chapel was constructed in 1941 with several additions and improvements made in subsequent years. Camp Greenville has been in existence since 1912 and covers 1600 acres. It is a year-round operation serving as a Summer Camp, Environmental Education Center, Group & Conference Center, and facility for weddings.  The Chapel is located on private property owned by the YMCA Camp Greenville (a branch of the YMCA of Greenville, SC). Camp Greenville welcomes visitors to enjoy the beauty of the Chapel during daylight - except when it is in use for a Camp event (Sunday morning worship services by campers or groups), or for another reserved event (weddings, dedications, memorial services, etc.). Typically the chapel is booked throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday.

Mountain Bridge Wilderness-

Located in the South Carolina Upcountry, access to this area can be had from either Ceasar's Head State Park or Jones Gap State Park. The name Mountain Bridge refers to the two watersheds that are within the boundaries of this area, The Table Rock watershed and the Poinsett watershed. This is the most extensive trail system in South Carolina. Most of the trails are well marked and easy to follow. The trails range from easy creek hikes to  strenuous loop hikes that can take all day. What makes this a fun destination is that most anyone of any hiking skill level can enjoy this area. Unlike much of South Carolina, most of the forest here is a Cove Hardwood Forest ecosystem. More common to the higher elevations in North Carolina, it is present here in the South Carolina Upcountry. Two state records, the Fraser Magnolia and Mokernut Hickory can be found here. Some other typical trees of this forest include the yellow buckeye, Cucumber tree, Eastern Hemlock and White Basswood. Because of its soft, fine grain, basswood is highly valued by wood carvers. The rich moist soil and prevailing cool conditions also contribute to an abundance of ferns and wildflowers some of which are rare in South Carolina.

The Green River Preserve

Is an environmental summer camp, located on a beautiful 3400 acre private wildlife preserve.Their unique program offers a creative, nurturing, and intellectually stimulating approach to connecting children to the joy and wonder of the natural world.  The Green River Preserve is a place where, as bright and motivated learners, campers are free to be smart, curious, and creative. Campers return year after year to Green River. It is a place where they find a talented peer group, and the fulfillment that comes from physical and intellectual involvement. It is a place that encourages creative self-expression art, music, theater and story telling abound here. It is a non-competitive place where there is time to slow down and discover more about oneself and the natural world. Finally, it is a place of new skills, friendships and leadership development…and its all fun!

Terra Nova Retreat Center

Is non denominational Spirit centered retreat.  A designated protected wild life area and a non profit Spiritual retreat center, Terra Nova is kept alive by your donations and support.  200 acres and a 12 acre lake offer guests the opportunity to hike, canoe, paddle boat, swim or sit quietly for lakeside meditation. Several streams come together throughout the property, each with its own special voice cascading over the brook stones.

DuPont State Forest

Its 10,400 acres of forest featuring four major waterfalls on the Little River and several on the Grassy Creek.  The original 7600 acre forest was established in 1996 through a generous bargain sale from the DuPont Corporation.  In 2000, the Forest was expanded by two property additions, including the spectacular 2200 acre tract in the center of the Forest containing High Falls, Triple Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls. The DuPont State Forest lies in an upland plateau of the Little River valley, with large sections of gently rolling land bordered by moderately steep hills and mountains.  Most all of the ridges have exposed granite slabs and domes. Elevation ranges from 2300' below Hooker Falls on the Little River to 3600' on the granite dome of Stone Mountain. Except for 21 small wildlife clearings, hundreds of acres of exposed granite, and a former camp facility on Lake Julia, the entire property is forested, mostly with young to medium aged trees, dating back to fires, farms, and forestry operations in the middle part of this century. Though sections of the property are white pine plantation (especially the Flatwood near Guion Farm), most are mixed with hardwoods gradually succeeding the softwoods. The Little River flows through the Forest both upstream and downstream of the Agfa Corporation manufacturing site.  The property contains four major waterfalls on the Little River, and several smaller waterfalls on the Grassy Creek, which drains a large portion of the eastern part of the Forest.  Approximately eighty miles of dirt roads exist on the property. The paved roads (Staton, Cascade Lake, and Old CCC) and state gravel roads (Sky Valley and Pinnacle Mountain) are public roadways open to motorized traffic. Larger gravel roads put in by the Cliffs development may also be opened to the public in the future. All remaining roads are closed to vehicular traffic (including ATV's), but most will be maintained as roads to support forestry & fire operations.  Many of these roads have gentle grades, and present excellent opportunities for hikers, cyclists, and equestrians wanting to avoid steep terrain.
