The park, at 5605 Old Bush River Road, is located on the banks of the lower Saluda River, approximately eight miles west of the Riverbanks Zoo. It is situated on 270 acres of land off of Bush River Road near St. Andrews Road. Most of the land is densely forested and this section of the Saluda River receives South Carolina's highest water quality rating. The sparkling clear waters offer some of the best trout fishing in the country. This park, an anchor park for the river alliance effort, will preserve an important combination of woodlands and wetlands, yet allow families and individuals to come to the river for canoeing, kayaking, fishing, nature study, picnics, walks through the woods and even arts performances.
Children can play on playgrounds, go tubing, or learn about plant and animal life.
A greenway on the banks of the river will allow unobstructed views of the water. Construction on Phase Two will begin after the opening of Phase One in April 1999.
