Pleasant Ridge Park has an interesting history. This region was initially hunting ground frequented by the Cherokee (also known as Tsalagi or Aniyunwiya). You will be walking the Leroy Smith Nature Trail, named after the first African-American Superintendent of a South Carolina Park. Leroy Smith was hired in 1951 to develop this park and served as Superintendent until his death in 1979. Pleasant Ridge State Park opened in 1955 and, at that time, served as the only Upstate Park for African-Americans. It was integrated in the 1960s and became a county park in 1988.
Take a leisurely 5 minute stroll on the Leroy Smith Nature Trail and you will encounter an especially pretty area to the right of the trail. This is where you want to start your search for the geocache.
