From GZ you gain a vantage point to survey the entire shoals area.


Walking out onto the remnants of the old dam to view the shoals is not permitted. Please respect the gate and obey posted signs. The fishing—and Geocaching!—near this spot are purported to be quite good! Swimming is discouraged, however.


According to the Greenville County Recreation District, “At this site in southern Greenville County the Reedy River widens to over 200 feet cascading over rocks and boulders to create one of the most geologically significant vistas on the river. The site dates back to the early 1800 when it housed an industry and an electric generating plant.”


Cedar Falls Park is 90+ acres of natural splendor, nestled in the rolling hills of southern Greenville County. Opened in Fall 2011, the park features excellent amenities: a historic site, numerous walking trails, a two-tiered playground, a sand court for volleyball, a cozy picnic shelter (with restrooms), and Reedy River access. Park hours are 9:00am – dusk. The address for Cedar Falls Park is 201 Cedar Falls Road, Fountain Inn, SC 29644.

On January 23, 2009, the Greenville County Recreation District announced that it will use funds from the Colonial Pipeline settlement to create its first blue trail. A 90-acre passive park has been created at Cedar Falls on the Reedy River. 17.5 acres will be purchased upstream at New Harrison Bridge Road to create a 7.8 mile paddling trail down to the park. This trip will be mostly flatwater, with a few small ledges. Whitewater boaters may enjoy park and play at the falls.
