A few of our
Upstate Favorites
trails
Keowee Toxaway State Park
Keowee-Toxaway is an underrated state park in our opinion! The park consists of two loop trails tied together, so its easy to make this hike as long or as short as you'd like. If you're up for the slightly more strenuous section, there's a nice place to rest on a rock with an iconic view of the lake. You've probably seen this view before!

restaurants
Clare's Creamery
The best ice cream in the Upstate in our opinion, we love going to our good ole neighborhood ice cream shop! Be sure to try their award-winning chocolate - simple, yet perfect.

Jianna
One of our favorite places for date night, you can't go wrong with anything at Jianna. Chef Michael Kramer has brought some delicious italian cuisine right here to Greeville. Grab a glass of wine, and try to score a seat on the patio overlooking Main Street.

events
Greenville Drive at Fluor Field
One of our personal favorite activities is going to Fluor Field to cheer on the Drive! Plenty of great tickets, wonderful food options (ice cream in a baseball helmet anyone?), and the chance to see one of our players knock a HR over our own Green Monster in left field.

Christmas in Seneca
Something that a lot of folks don't know about but Seneca is the best place to enjoy Christmas in the Upstate. The Christmas lights set up in incredible, Santa and his elves are there giving sleighrides, hot chocolate and smores are available and one of the tallest Christmas trees in the Upstate is on display. Plus, they even manage to bring in "snow" to get you into the holiday spirit!
