First we get to the lower lake and make our way to the ranger station, take a good look around at all the people that are here for the first day hike! Paris mountain has great trails for beginners to experts. With two lakes and waterfalls there's plenty reason to keep coming back!
Remember to obey the signs and stick to the trail! It doesn't say anything about standing on the sign :)
And here we have the lower falls at lake Placid. You can see these falls from the road. The falls were pretty active this day as we've had a ton of rain lately. We didn't make it to the upper falls this time around but maybe on another trip we will!
Now what did that sign say earlier?? Luckily for Neximus he was just on the outer edges and didn't get hurt or in trouble with the ranger!
Walking the plank !! There were several trees down into the lake. Makes for a nice ramp down or up for the ducks, if you're lucky you can catch some coming up!
Now time for a little break from the hiking! There are several park benches on the trails here, very nice for the trip back if you've been hiking a lot.
There's plenty of wildlife at the park, these were playing and chasing each other around. Come in the spring to see the baby ducks!
Thanks for visiting and joining us on our Paris Mountain State Park hike! Hopefully you have enjoyed the trip. Want to see more pictures from this park and the others on our journey? Visit my website and the "SC Sate Park Project" gallery! This is an excellent park just minutes from downtown Greenville. It is one of my favorite state parks so far, I've been countless times and still find new places and things to see. If you're visiting Greenville this is a must see park, if you're a native and have never been, what are you waiting for?!?!
