1 hour to full day
2,100 acres of privately owned conservation land in Fort Mill with 30+ miles of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. One of the best trail networks in the Charlotte-Rock Hill corridor.

The Anne Springs Close Greenway is a 2,100-acre privately owned conservation greenway in Fort Mill that has been open to the public for decades. The trail network covers more than 30 miles through mixed forest, open fields, creek corridors, and historic sites.

The greenway has trails for hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians, with enough mileage to keep any fitness level busy. The terrain is rolling Piedmont with moderate climbs and creek crossings. The historic sites include a grist mill, a covered bridge, and remnants of the old Springs family estate.

A small admission fee supports the conservation mission. The greenway is one of the best outdoor resources in the Charlotte-Rock Hill corridor and is consistently underappreciated by visitors from outside the area.

Tips from the field

  • A small admission fee is charged. Worth every dollar for the trail quality.
  • The mountain bike trails are well-maintained and popular with Charlotte-area riders.
  • The historic covered bridge and grist mill are worth seeking out.
  • Dogs are welcome on leash. Horse trailers have a dedicated staging area.
