Middle Saluda River Trail

The 3346-acre Jones Gap State Park is located in the 10,000-acre Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area. The park encompasses the Middle Saluda River, designated as South Carolina’s first scenic river. More than 400 species of flora, including rare and endangered plants, and state record trees are found in the park. The Environmental Education Center offers nature exhibits and a lab area to explore. Portions of the old Cleveland Fish Hatchery have been restored and are stocked with trout (for observation only), and the park has over 50 miles of hiking trails and is also an access point to the Foothills Hiking Trail via the Jones Gap Trail.
