Nestled deep in the woods, rugged South Mountains State Park
is a phenomenal place to enjoy nature. The park includes elevations
that range from 1000 feet in the rolling piedmont to majestic
mountain ranges towering over 3,000 feet. Other highlights are the
beautiful High Shoals Falls that drops 80 feet, and more than 40
miles of trails including a 17-mile mountain bike loop. From
equestrian camping to trout fishing, mountain biking to picnicking,
a number of activities are available at the park.
