A Look at Bald Rock Heritage Preserve

4 Comments/ 111/ 0

Bald Rock Heritage Preserve is someplace we have always wanted to stop to see but had just never done until a week or so ago. Located off US 276 about five miles from the entrance to Casears Head State Park in South Carolina there is a pull off that is usually packed with cars when we travel past. That is a big reason why we have never stopped — it is not an easy to access if the parking is all filled. But this day I said was the day when we went past it that we would stop on our way back home and luckily there were only a couple of cars so parking was easy.

We followed the little wooden footbridge to the massive rock outcropping which is roughly the size of a football field. Looking out over the rock visitors can see the foothills Pickens and Greenville counties as well as the famous Table Rock granite dome.

Obviously the views are spectacular and despite the graffiti that is everywhere it is all rather amazing. While I did not venture too close to the edge the views are truly amazing and I can only imagine what sunsets or sunrises must look like from this vantage point.

I was so glad we finally stopped here. What a great place to enjoy nature (and a little man made art) at the same time.

Have you ever visited this place? I would love to hear about it in the comments and remember that each comment this month means a 50 cent donation to our Comments for a Cause – Diaper Bank of North Carolina.

    I have stopped many times over the years and marveled at the strange bedfellows of nature and graffiti! I have also thought how amazing it would be to go on a clear 4th of July night to watch the fireworks over Greenville. On my last visit there, I chatted with a family who said, good luck with that! They had done it……once! It was an amazing party of many hundreds of people all having picnics and beer. If you hadn’t stopped before due to the parking BethAnn, this would really put you off! I was told both sides of the road for a very long ways in both directions is jammed full of cars, making it quite a hike, but still quite an amazing experience with man and nature.

    Hubby and I finally got outside today — it’s been rainy, dreary, & cold here. Improved my outlook a lot!
