I bookmarked this spot for the seasonal spider lillies. After self-paying the admission fee and…read moreparking, the walk along the shore was quite pleasant on a mild day. Despite the river views, it took a half hour or so to get to the spider lillies, which are apparently limited to one particular location. It was hard to see them from shore, made harder by rising waters (the festival the previous day was likely thrown off by rain). I got enough of a glimpse of them to understand where the name comes from. The overall aesthetic of the park offered remnants of a historic canal, and boating and picnicking opportunities. It was a pleasant space, but not at the top of ones I'd want to drive out to and pay for.

The Rocky Spider Lily's are only located in certain areas ( SC, GA, and AL). Hoping to see them in another state as well. Its all about timing, make sure you check the websites for a bloom updates. The park is well kept and bathrooms are clean, which is a plus. During the Lily Festival parking is limited, so pack your patience. You will get parking, so no worries. The cost is $6 for each adult, very reasonable considering. They have a store with maps for the walking trails, its approx 1mile roundtrip to see the Lily's. If you want to see them up close and personal you must rent a canoe prior to coming. The park doesnt rent boats, a outside company will take you on a tour. I actually enjoyed the nature trails. They have a nice platform for viewing the lily's. The lily's are absolutely breathtaking, I truly enjoyed my day at this park. The trails are fairly short and well taken care of. There are some food and artisan vendors at the park. Tip: dont touch the lily's if your on a boat, all parts of the plant are poisonous if ingested. Please do your own research beforehand. Thankfully most people are viewing from the platform. Fabulous day indeed, fresh air, steps, and peace! @glampedlife

This more modest state park offers a historic schoolhouse and some other exhibits, as well as some nature trails. It purports to tell the story of a rural community where this future president was raised in a time of war. There was some intrigue here, and for a $3 entrance fee, it was not a bad stop. Some historical interpretation was available. There were also some significant picnic sites and an amphitheater that was hosting some sort of event.

Then it is just a short walk to the museum and a few monuments. I'm not sure if there is really any connection to Jackson himself aside from the name and monuments. But there are some artifacts which date from around his time. The history here, indeed the whole area, is a history lacking from the west coast. So, whether related to the 7th president or just his era, it is cool for a life long west coaster to visit and learn. Other highlights of this state park which I did not have an opportunity to check out are camp sites, a lake with canoe rentals and a 1 mile nature trail. Practically something for everyone.

The trail I spotted is clearly marked with blazes. It's not handicapped accessible with a few scrabble areas and some felled trees that would need to be stepped over. The hike would likely land on the "easy" end of the scale and it's very pleasant to walk through the woods. The sign indicates that the park closed November 4 and is estimated to be complete in late Spring 2020. Users of the Piedmont Medical Center Trail at 100 Celriver Road can still access the trail.

Our priorities for a…read moreretirement community were that it be inland, near a major airport, close to a large city, and offer plenty of amenities. SCCL offers that and much more. There is a club, event or activity for almost anyone. For the less active person it is a very well kept aesthetically appealing neighborhood, close to shopping and many restaurants. After 13 years ( I think building began in 2006) major updating and renovating will soon begin on our Lakehouse. It will be a major disruption in our primary amenity center and , understandably, has caused some grumbling and disagreement throughout the community. My feeling is that if we are to retain our position as the premier 55+ community of the Carolinas, we need to accept the inconvenience and enjoy the outcome! No community is perfect, but if you're looking for a fun- filled active retirement with friendly neighbors and a lovely environment- you should check out Sun City Carolina Lakes!
