Get Out.

Pack up your kayak, lace up your hiking boots, grab your fishing rod, and adjust your bike seat because we’ve got miles and miles of blueways and greenways just begging to be explored.

Whether you’re coming for a sports tournament, one of our signature events, or just to catch a breath of fresh air, we think you’ll find that Spartanburg is brimming opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors.
