Nestled amid beautiful lakes and hardwood forests, the Anne Springs Close Greenway is a nature preserve more than twice the size of Central Park. Minutes south of Charlotte in Fort Mill, SC, its 2,100 acres serve as a natural buffer from urban development and provides a wide-open space for countless activities.

Get Close to Nature

There are countless ways to enjoy nature at the Greenway! Hike, run or bike our 36 miles of trails. Kayak, paddle board or fish in one of our lakes and ponds. Ride a horse, or try some yoga with a goat.

Its the last day of camp; how far we have come!
Youve learned so much, and its all been fun!
You learned how to kayak, and take aim with a bow,
May your confidence all year, continue to grow.
You completed your quest, deep into the woods.
But you made new friends; we knew you would.
Our counselors will miss, these smiling faces,
But we hope you return, to our wide-open spaces.

Members, visitors and especially pollinators love the wildflowers at Anne Springs Close Greenway. The one pictured as the cover photo for this reel is a coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), which is adored by butterflies!

Plant a new Truffula. Treat it with care.
Give it clean water. And feed it fresh air.
Grow a forest. Protect it from axes that hack.
Then the Lorax
and all of his friends
may come back.”
