Nature Trails & Serenity at Lynches River County Park

This was our first time visiting, and we came prepared to stay for about a half a day and see what the place offered. We started out on the hiking trail, which went across some boardwalks, right along the river and turned into the woods where we hiked for about a mile in a loop. We met a couple of people along the route and then we headed up to the environmental center as there was supposedly a canopy book boardwalk, if the back door of that facility. Indeed.There was a canopy treetop rope, swing connected to a platform and in total.There were four rope swings with four platforms. I'm totally free of charge and no helmet or harness required which sounds a little scary but the sides of the bridge were shoulder high. Behind that is the playground and we heard quite a few children playing there before heading up the road about a quarter of a mile to the splash pad and picnic area. The splash pad was inside of a fence for protection of the children. I would assume and also they serve food, French, fries, chicken sandwiches. I saw cotton candy. I'm sure they have drinks. They also have a climbing wall and as we pulled up to the splash pad area, there was a sign outside that said the the climbing wall was open. The splash pad entry fee is $6 for the day other than that, everything else here was free. And I did not check on the climbing wall, it's probably not something that's going to happen in my future.

Great place to unwind, relax in nature, enjoy the canopy walk, and let kids be kids. My babies love this park and so do I!!

The possibilities of this park is amazing. Unfortunately it's undermanaged and not very rarely taken care of. The markers are blank so when you're on a trail you don't even know where you are and all the trails kind of seem to cross over each other. The maps. There's only one when you enter the trail so take a picture. Other than that, the website really doesn't help. There's plenty of opportunity for maps to be located along the trails. You have all these these stops that have Windows that you can easily place a map and say here. You're here less likely for people to get lost trails. Go different ways. Like I said those markers are empty. There's nothing on them so if you don't know the area and you're just in the state to visit and you wanted to see the beautiful of South Carolina, it's it's a nice Park. Unfortunately it's under managed. Not very well taken care of. I have provided pictures. Plenty of areas to put a map of any of the walks. Even the the map at the beginning of the trail was not correct. We had it on our phone and other trails crossed over what seemed to be trails crossed over I'm leaving would have left needs somewhere completely else. Place is confusing a lot of potential just very poorly managed. Highly disappointed. Like most of the South Carolina parks and racks they're they're very poorly managed. Not well taken care of. Wonder where all those funds are going. Clearly not in the Parks.

Lots of fun for our toddler. Just wish the splash pad opened earlier on weekends.

This is a great place! The nature center is open to the public and is really cool. They have free things to do even if you aren't camping. The splash pad is awesome but there is a fee. They also have a climbing wall with a fee, I think. The staff was very friendly. We stayed in the cabins and they were great. Simple but nice! Cabin 1 has a view of the river. It also has horse camping and activities!! This is a great place!!
