Some 100 miles northwest of Columbia, Greenville is located on the Piedmont Plateau. The Blue Ridge Mountains are only minutes from the heart of town - they are great for hiking. For years Greenville has been a popular resort for Lowcountry planters trying to escape the mosquitoes and the heat and the climate is still a good reason to come here.
Reedy River Historic Park and Greenway has some good riverbank footpaths to take a nice stroll. For lovers of art, the Greenville County Museum of Art has a good collection of Southern art, as well as works by such 20th-century artists as Jasper Johns and Georgia O’Keeffe. The Bob Jones University Museum and Gallery has an impressive collection of European religious art.
The Zoo has about 200 animals and a nice playground and picnic area. Another attraction park is the Hollywild Animal Park, where they have Hollywood stars from the animal kingdom.
