Walks in the Woods at Saluda Library Parking Lot

Walks are scheduled mid-March through mid November, weather permitting, join Saluda Community Land Trust members to explore local favorite walks in the Saluda area.

A SCLT member will keep you aware of the terrain of the trail and share their insights about the history, flora, and fauna of the area as they lead each walk. June 2: Waters of Camp Creek is a short hike and exploration that showcases local flora and fauna. June 16: Vaugh Creek is a 1.7 mile out and back trail near Tryon. This trail follows the creek featuring a small waterfall, native flora and fauna, a Native American marker tree, and a large culvert at the end of the trail.
