This "Green" restaurant is true to it's form from the ground up. From recycling everything they use in the store to the places where their food is purchased, to all the décor inside. The most important thing to note is that their food is also delicious!

Hiking within 40 miles

Greenville SC has some of the best hiking and trail systems in the world. This list does not do the area justice. Make sure to check with us for all the up to date places to explore nature within 40 miles of Greenville!
6 miles from downtown Greenville 🏔 If you want lake views and (mostly) flat ground, walk the Lake Placid Loop. 👟 1.2 mile loop | Easy | Starts at the picnic shelter 🐶 friendly? Yes. 🏔 If you want to see an old water tower and dam (and hike a pretty steep hill for about .25 miles), try Sulphur Springs Trail. 👟 3.5 mile loop (upper only) | Moderate | Starts near picnic shelter 6 🐶 friendly? Yes…if your dog is in good shape. It’s easy to get lost on this trail since it has an upper and lower section so download a map of the park to your phone before you go. 🏔 If you want to see any mountain views at all on Paris Mountain, hike Brissy Ridge Trail. 👟 2.4 mile loop | Moderate-Strenuous | Starts at the park map sign near the parking area 🐶 friendly? Yes…unless your dog is afraid of bicycles. There is a hiker’s only portion, which is much steeper than the rest of the trail, and there are lots of tree roots on the ground so watch your footing. Be on the lookout for mountain bikers on the other sections of the trail. (Remember, hikers yield to bikers on the downhill).

🚙: 25 miles from downtown Greenville 🏔 If you want a leisurely walk with some historic elements (and great views of Table Rock), you’ll like Lakeside Loop. 👟 1.9-mile loop | Easy | Starts near the boathouse 🐶 friendly? Yes. 🏔 If you want a serious challenge with uninterrupted mountain views from the tallest mountain in S.C., try Pinnacle Mountain Trail. 👟 4.2 miles each way | Very strenuous | Starts at the eastern trailhead of the Foothills Trail inside Table Rock State Park. 🐶 friendly? Dogs are allowed but it may be difficult for them to climb up some of the large rocks. 🏔 If you have waterproof shoes and want to see lots of waterfalls (+ can handle some steep elevation changes), check out Carrick Creek Trail. 👟 1.9-mile loop | Moderate | Starts at the Nature Center, across the road from Lake Oolenoy. 🐶 friendly? Yes. Carrick Creek Waterfalls is located 300 feet behind the Table Rock Nature Center on the Carrick Creek Trail if you don’t want to do the hike but still want to see a waterfall. *There are also three other trails in the park, including Table Rock Trail which summits Table Rock Mountain. See those here.
