A season of events and change
As summer
begins to wind down most parks around the country see the number of visitors decrease
from peak use during the warmer months.
The sight of the leaves changing color at Saluda Shoals Park means that
the busiest time of the year has really just begun for our staff. To complement the beautiful scenery created
by Mother Nature, visitors will begin to notice the work being done to prepare
for some of the most popular special events held in the park. Each of these events are celebrations of the
coming seasons and offer visitors the chance to see all of the wonders of
Saluda Shoals Park. Even on days when
there is not an event taking place, the change in seasons offers many
opportunities to experience the beauty of nature as plants and wildlife prepare
for the cold winter ahead. Whether you
are a bird watcher, nature lover, art enthusiast, or just enjoy viewing Christmas
lights with your family, Saluda Shoals Park is the place for you this autumn
and holiday season.
