The Chinquapin Creek is a tributary stream of the Lawson’s
Fork and was the source of the city of Spartanburg’s first
municipal water system in the late 1890’s.
This cache is placed as a reminder that out of little brooks like
this one, comes the source of the mightiest of rivers.
Adjacent to the new Hospice home, the Upper Chinquapin has 1.6
miles of walking trails. The trails are very well kept, and
transversable my most all cachers.
Running the length of the property is the Upper Chinquapin Creek,
for which the greenway is named. The word chinquapin, itself,
refers to chestnut trees. The greenway is home to a diverse group
of plant-life, including 13 species of ferns, wild azalea, various
hardwoods like the swamp tupelo and water oak as well as longleaf
pines. Along with various birds, you may also encounter squirrels,
snakes, beavers and foxes.
As the wildlife is plentiful, so are the standard outdoor dangers
of scratches, stickers, and boo-boo's.
