🍦 Spartanburg Scoop: November 15 Edition

Hey there, Spartanburg friends! 👋

If you’re looking to get out of town (just a little bit) and enjoy some fresh mountain air this weekend, we’ve got a great idea for you: Hiking at Jones Gap State Park!

🥾 Fall Hike at Jones Gap

Just a short drive from Spartanburg, Jones Gap State Park is a must-visit for fall hikers. The leaves are still showing off their beautiful autumn colors, making this weekend the perfect time to hit the trails. Whether you’re up for an easy walk along the river or a challenging hike to a waterfall, there’s a trail for everyone.

For a stunning view, try the Rainbow Falls Trail—it’s a bit of a workout, but the waterfall payoff at the end is worth every step. If you’re looking for something mellow, the Jones Gap Trail follows the Middle Saluda River and is great for spotting wildlife and enjoying peaceful water views.

When: Anytime this weekend
Where: Jones Gap State Park, Marietta, SC (about an hour’s drive from Spartanburg)
Cost: $6 for park admission; bring water, a picnic, and your sense of adventure! 🍁

Pro tip: Arrive early to snag a parking spot—this place is popular for a reason! So, pack your hiking boots, grab a friend, and enjoy some of the best of fall in the Upstate.

Happy trails,
—Your friends at the Spartanburg Scoop
