Nestled amid beautiful lakes and hardwood forests, the Anne Springs Close Greenway℠'s 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 40 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.

Featured Event

Night Owl 5k

Explore Greenway trails after dark - the excitement of competition paired with the thrill of the trails at night make our Night Owl 5K a race to remember!

Night Owl 5K starts and finishes at the Lake Haigler entrance, so participants and spectators may order food and drinks from the Gateway Canteen, roast marshmallows at the firepits, and enjoy live music throughout the evening!

NEW THIS YEAR: make it a weekend of fun and sleep under the stars during our October Campout!
