Gorgeous park, I love that it’s easy to access regard of your physical ability at the time. Super informative for people of all ages with signage in animals, wildlife, and water systems. Great playground fenced in playground near the parking lots with picnic tables and restrooms available. They’ve recently updated some trails to no bikes or dogs but there are still plenty of options for people with dogs or bikes, and it makes for a nice quiet hike if you don’t have either ️

This is a great place to spend some time. There are a lot things for children to do. Its a great place to take a walk or run and even bicycle. Park is kept up very well and they do offer clean restrooms. Nice place to have a picnic and barbeque. Plenty of places to throw out the trash. They also have recycling bins on the property.

My favorite park in Greenville County. Wetlands are a rare and priceless ecosystem. Its wonderful to me that this park is privately operated through donations so make sure to contribute some money from time to time. The park is diligently maintained and kept clean and accessible to all. There are also educational signs posted throughout to brinf awareness to the surroundings. Please stop by!

Awesome place. Tons of trails to walk on ranging in difficulty. Lots of paved trails for strollers and kids as well. There are a ton of secluded spots to feel like youre alone in the woods so dont be discouraged if the parking lots seem full.

Not crowded, paths are paved, but still offers natural paths, as well. Shaded and beautiful views of Lake Conestee. Always friendly people walking and biking on the trails, too. Can get in over 5 miles walking. Great hidden gem!

I really enjoyed my walk with my dogs at this nature preserve. The trail is paved which is nice, and the scenery is great. I like the educational informative signs along the way. It was a last minute decision to stop by while on vacation in Greenville. I am glad that I did. Its one of the best ways to get in touch with nature and not having to walk through the woods. Look up into the trees for bird nests when you are talking the trail. There is no place to dispose used poop bags. Be prepared to carry it home. We walked about 2/3 of the trail and that was 1 mile one way, 2 miles both way. I estimate that this trail is 1.5 miles one way.

Lake Conestee Nature Preserve, located at Conestee Park on Mauldin Road between Greenville and Mauldin, South Carolina, is absolutely amazing. The park is built on the old Greenville Braves Stadium property. It is home to ball fields, play grounds, a dual dog park, and walking paths The Nature Preserve hosts many nature and biking trails. The scenery along to nature trail is breathtaking. Much to see in the way of fauna and flora alike. It ties in with a section of the Swamp Rabbit Trail, which eventually will be connected to the main Trail that currently runs from Greenville to Travelers Rest. Give this place a try, you wont be disappointed!!

I love nature and the scenery here at any time of the year! Its many bridges and the Conestee lake so bueatiful and well maintained walking trails are the best in this area. Plenty of parking and bring your well behaved fur babies along with your own poopy bags as theirs are always empty if your not at their dog park. Love the nature walking trail here!

Love coming here with the family. Beautiful scenery and easy trails.

Well marked, clean, well-maintained Nature Preserve and walking trail at the conestee like side of the Swamp Rabbit Trail... I parked at the conservatory and enjoyed a scenic nature filled walk 4 several miles always intrigued by the next turn and Incredibly pleased.... highly recommend for a laid-back opportunity to enjoy nature within a stones throw of downtown Greenville...

Very clean park , beautiful view their doing some upgrading certain areas of the park.

Dog park, playgrounds for small and big kids, picnic shelter with grills, restrooms, and lots of trails to walk, Lake Conestee is a great place to visit for some nature time. I love taking my dog there to walk. My company had a work picnic there last year (pre-COVID) and it was perfect for our needs. Fair warning though, its a popular spot on the weekends.

Beautiful trails! Lots of scenery! Hours of walking and hiking!

Best closeby area to walk if living within the city. Our dog enjoys the dog park. Dogs used to be allowed on trails, but not anymore. Folks still walk their dogs on them, but its probably due to lack of cleaning up after them.

You’re community is lucky to have a such a great park. I found this park after searching for somewhere to keep up with my trail running training while visiting the area. The trails were well kept. I will definitely run here again when visiting the area.

Very beautiful! Greatly enjoyed the walk! Lots of shade and the trails are nice and pretty easy. Loved the view on the bridges!

They have a dog park, playgrounds, ball park, pavilion, paved trails, boardwalks and hiking trails through the woods. I especially enjoyed the trails along the river and lake. Most of the lake resembles a swamp but still very beautiful.

Great place, really. But I was super disappointed that dogs arent allowed on the bulk of the trails. Bikes arent either. So me and my dog had to walk in a paved path the whole time. There were numerous trails that we missed because of the dog ban.

Very nice park and some good quality trails. I appreciate that a number of the trails are paved so its easy to push a stroller so my little one can experience the outdoors.

We are so lucky to have such a wonderful resource in the Mauldin area. A wide variety of trails, wildlife, and interpretive signage combine into an amazing experience for the entire family.

If you want to experience the wilderness right near downtown Greenville, then Lake Conestee is the right place ! Many different trails to enjoy.I will never get tired of the scenery, peaceful environment here. Good Place for nature Lovers!!!!

This place is so beautiful! I feel safe coming here. I come often with my 2.5 year old, sometimes just us, but also with friends & family. In addition to long beautiful, well kept trails for walking/hiking, theres also a large park where theres play grounds & fields to play different sports at. But the scenery cant be beat! Lake Conestee park is truly a treasure. Would recommend for everyone!

Beautiful place to get out & walk some trails. Pets are allowed. Theres also access to bike trails. Playground on which kids can play. Bench swing to sit upon to read your favorite book or spend time with a loved one.

Great place for family fun. With awesome nature trails, walking area and playground. This is also a great place for parties and to exercise at.

Great large walkways large enough for my sons pull wagon with hitch. Not to strenuous of a walk through the woods. Beautiful scenery well managed and taken care of.

I love Lake Conestee for a number of reasons. One they have a great fenced off area for the kids to play additionally they have a wonderful dog park that separates small dogs from large dogs so you can feel safe with your small canines. Last but not least I absolutely love the trails and all the upgrades they’ve done in the last couple of years have done nothing but improve this wonderful location and easy access to a beautiful wetlands, marsh and wildlife sanctuary.

Conestee rules. Lots of trails for hiking or walking or running or strolling with kids. Big field, great playground. Open space, plenty of room.

Great walking, hiking, and biking trails. Was under construction which is good sign meaning its only going to get better with time. Enjoy nature and be safe yall

Great place for an afternoon hike with the family. There are lots of nature trails throughout the park for hiking, biking, and watching wildlife. Many of the trails give you great views of the lakes and lots of opportunity to see the local flora and fauna. All of that for a fantastic price of FREE!

Its beautiful and an awesome place to walk, run and get your exercise in. There are a few patches of rotten wood that they are working on fixing so be a bit careful but other than that its so pretty and a place we will definitely come back to.

Very nice. Clean trails. Only two nature trails closed.

Up until today, this would be a 5 star review of this park. As a dog trainer, I have always loved coming to this park for the ability to get some quality training in with my dogs. I love walking the nature trails throughout, and to be quite honest, without my dogs, it would be very difficult to even get up in the mornings, let alone go for a nice long hike. But today was a bit different. Several times during the hike, we were stopped and informed by some middle aged ladies with badges, who told us that the inner trails of the park were off limits to dogs now and dogs are only aloud to walk the outer trail of the park. I have several major issues with this, and I would like to list these issues out...1. The obvious issue is that this park is a very popular park for dogs in general. There is a very nice dog park across the lot from the hiking trails. Im sure lots of people like to go from the park to the trails on a regular basis. To restrict the trails that my dogs are aloud on quite honestly feels discriminating. Im not sure why this sudden change in rules was made, but if there was an incident, it is completely unfair to punish everyone based on the actions of one person. Believe me, nobody hates irresponsible dog owners more than I do.2. I really question the ladies who were laying down the law to us.They were stopping people left and right to inform them of the new rules, but when questioned about what authority they had, they dont work for the park, and they are not rangers. So who do they work for, and why is it so important to them?3. The trail that everyone is being instructed to walk on is a questionable call as well. It is an asphalt trail, and as any good dog owner knows, asphalt gets very hot and will burn your dogs feet. I really would not feel comfortable at all taking my dog on that trail during a hot day. I would much prefer my dog to walk on the nice cool dirt on the many trails that the park has to offer.Like I say, I dont know what happened. If somebody brought their dog to the park and it killed or injured a wild animal, I sincerely apologize for that jerk. I fight every day to educate people on how to be better dog owners. I can assure you that no incident will ever come about from my dogs. I just dont want to have to pay for somebody elses actions. Also, please do a better job of getting the information out there. Nobody at the park explained why this was happening, and to be honest, if it were actual park rangers explaining these things, this negative review would not exist. Thank you for your time.

Well-marked trails, plenty of benches and viewing stands; abundant wildlife, especially for birding enthusiasts.

Nice place to take the family for a walk and have a lunch outside by the lake

I love it...perfect place to walk

I absolutely adore it here. I have spent hours upon hours exploring the trails and I always find something new. It is huge, well-kept, and so relaxing to wander. Highly recommend!

Absolutely beautiful park. Trails are very clean, and exceptionally taken care of. There is a variety of wild life as well. Ive spotted downy woodpeckers, mourning doves, blue jays, cardinals, lizards, frogs, geese, squirrels, and hawks. One of my all time favorite hiking area. The trails vary in difficulty, and are clearly marked on how hard they are. Good for kids and experienced hikers. Highly recommend.

I love it here. Dog friendly, bike friendly, kid friendly. Nature hiking with conveniently paved walkways for half the trails. A great place to go for fresh air and exercise.

My dog and I love lake conestee trails especially swamp rabbit trail! Lots of water for my girl to jump into as well and friendly folks!

People that work there are the nicest people I ever met they show that they care about you,

Serene...i forgot we were in the middle of Mauldin. It was our first time and i didnt realize the paved walking trail was 6 miles long. Make sure to read the tails of download it on your phone so you know where you are and where you want to go.

We come down from Saluda, NC and love walking here. Usually spend half a day enjoying great paths and nature. First nester arrived, fixing up the nest for the new season. Turtles out and its crowded on the logs. Counted 35 turtles on one log. Cant want for the bridge to get done so we can walk around and up to the dam. First butterfly was spotted too.

We love it. Its safe, kid-friendly and really growing!

Gorgeous wildlife and beautiful park. Found this pretty copperhead while on a hike there a few weeks ago. Remember, there is no such snake as a bad (native) snake. This snake did not bother me, nor did I bother him. You are a visitor in their home. Enjoy their beauty and respect their space. Ive also spotted Virginia Virginia opossums, many turtles (plus a snapping turtle laying her eggs!), birds of prey, a raccoon sleeping on a log, a beaver, and so many other interesting animals. This is a great place to nature watch, with so many secluded boardwalks out in the marshy areas. Go exploring today.

Huge park with great jogging trails. Swamp rabbit trail connects down into the park and intertwines all over the park. Very well maintained

Even in the drippy rainy weather, it was a wonderful walk! We saw herons, geese, dragonflies, beetles, turtles, fish, lots of different birds, myriads of different trees and foliage. The bridge across the Reedy river was impressive! The only downside was the footbridge being out and the shortcut back to the car therefore closed. Made for an extra long walk.

Now that leashed, well-behaved dogs and responsible dog owners are not allowed on trails, you wont be seeing me at Conestee (or donating to the parks boxes). A most disappointing and, quite frankly, ridiculous rule change. Cant see how a leashed dog can interact with ANY wildlife.

Nice place amidst the hustle and bustle of the area.Seemed to be a safe and clean area.

We rescued little Steve when he was quarter size and half dead. Nursed him to a strong young snapper. He went back home and seems to be very happy on the way into the water. He couldnt wait!

This park is a good afternoon excursion with kids. It gets a little buggy because it is built on wetlands, but the trails are well preserved and the nature walks are attached to an area with a large playground.We parked at the Belmont fire department parking lot and took the flat tail trail into the park.The trails are marked, but it is easy to get turned around your first time.Some of the trails are okay for mountain biking, but it’s mostly flat.This is a very good area for birdwatching.

Park Layout is okay...Concession Stand is GREAT!

This was gorgeous to visit. The weather was perfect and I saw so much wildlife out and about. Herons, turtles, butterflies, ducks. Every turn seems to have a new trailhead and I look forward to exploring the many they have. It just seems to sprawl on forever. I walked for two hours on just one trail.

Excellent place to take the dogs for a walk or go for a jog. The trail offers lots of shade

Pretty nice, the only thing is that you cant get to the waterfall is because its gated off.

We love the trails

Great place to enjoy God’s creation. You never know what you will see while you are there. Sometimes it’s an Egret and then another day its Herons. Lots of easy trails, which are designed to observe nature. There are restrooms at the entrance but there are none within the actual park.

Great place to go for walks biking and for a date.

Beautiful easy walk with children and for a day trip. Paths arent all easily marked, but hard to get lost. Peaceful setting and clear walking paths.

Miles of trails in a relaxing, wooded setting. They also have a good kids play area and a huge pavilion for large groups. There is an abundance of flora and fauna to enjoy seeing too.

A tranquil setting throughout this preserve awaits you. There are many benches to sit and observe from.

The park is peaceful and beautiful! Great for biking, walking, running, and bird watching.

Great place for a nice run or a hike on the trails. Never feels too busy.

A very relaxing and peaceful park with plenty of trails and gorgeous photo oppourtunities. This park is a fantastic place for families, excersize, or just quiet contemplation.

Nice place to walk around and be a part of nature. Great place to relax, exercise, and educate children. Also has separate playgrounds for small children (fenced in) and bigger kids, a huge covered area with a lot of tables, and bathrooms.

Nice place to walk with shaded and paved trails. They have bathrooms and adequate parking with a dog park and playgrounds also.

This is a beautiful park . Visiting it is a must if you come to Greenville .

We Love It! Very Peaceful and the Serenity is unmatched. #naturesecretspot #outdoor

Great loop for walking and plenty of nature/wildlife for viewing

Lots of different entrances with a variety of trails for walking and biking. The Conestee Lake And Reedy River are both in the park on diff trails. Different free parking areas at each entrance.

Very busy trail but very beautiful. Theres a ton of different trails to walk. Lots of bird watchers, so try to be quiet when you come across them so as to not spook their shot. Will definitely go back!

Absolutely love this park. Great trails and well kept.

Beautiful place to ride bikes or just walk around...

Well-kept trails, great getaway from the city not so far away.

Great park! We enjoy the nature trails, connection to the Swamp Rabbit Trail and the playground. Its nice to have this in our community.

We went there for the first time and loved it! It is beautiful, walking trails not to long, you can have a picnic there and you can bring your dog. I will definetly go a lot more!

Great park and play ground! Loved the nature trail, or what we got to see of it; it goes on and on for days. Absolutely beautiful!

Nice easy hiking! We all enjoyed it.

I wasn’t expecting much of this park, but it was amazing!!! The trails are extensive and beautiful, as well as well marked. The play area is great for kids. I’ll be back.

What a great Park! Just visited for my first time today. Everything very well kept. Wonderful paved long walking trail and well-maintained bridges. I went there with my fiance and our Yorkie...had a perfect afternoon. The trails are very well-marked. It would be nice if they had paper maps that people could take with them on their walks. Its quite the large park and kind of easy to get somewhat lost. We cant wait to revisit the park soon. :)

Great place but I didnt find the lake. Im hoping next time I will but it was beautiful

Great playgrounds, shelter, clean restrooms, huge fields to play, quick escape into nature and always seeing where ever you are!

Nice trails both paved and natural.

One of my most reliable places to bird with great trails, variety of species and well maintained. Dog friendly is a plus.

Lots of different trails. It was hard to keep track of them so we went with the flow. That didn’t work out so well because a bridge we needed was out and instead of going back around we headed for the main road and not much space to walk by the road.If that hadn’t happened it would’ve been perfect.

My niece and I come to Conestee Park often. The playground is great for kids, there is a dog park, a grassy area where I see people picnicking, and playing throwing a football. The trails are also beautiful and fun to walk, run, or bike.

Donation-funded park with peaceful paths

I would go again. Its quiet and good for kids to interact with nature!

Good place to take a walk out in the nature

SICKEST place to LONGBOARD in Greenville Ive found so far on the paved path. Perfect hills to DROP and squirrelly curves to CARVE haha sick times gnarr gnarr

Lovely outdoor experience my wife, kids and I have a wonderful time. I most definitely will be back for more outdoor fun.

Beautiful park with playgrounds, amphitheatre, dog park, baseball feilds and MANY beautiful trails, primarily easily accessible by stroller. Well kept and beautiful.

Beautiful facility! Wonderful park with trails in a shaded area with this small beachy area by the river. Lots of nice boardwalks for easy walking. A separate dog park as well. Well maintained and restrooms are available.

Lovely spot for a run or walk! Hope they fix the bridge soon

Huge! You can get lost here there is so mich to see

Nice walking trails but the people on bikes need to leave them at home. The trails are not setup for people to walk on and bike at the same time.

The food was awesome and the staff was great.

Great place for a short or long walk, run or bike ride. Plenty of trails to enjoy. Definitely a beginner friendly park, almost flat so if you are looking for a perfect place to start ridding the bike this is it. Can be a bit boring for advanced riders since only a few technical section are available. Plenty of parking.

CHAMPERS! READ THIS! YOUR SANITY DEPENDS ON IT! I went camping with some friends and I had a lot of fun. It was clean but they seriously need to spray for spiders in the bathhouse... i mean i was afraid to squish some of those things. I know thats part of the experience but the little spiders that float and crawl around like ants where everywhere, even on the water, were no problem but the beasts in the bathhouse were ridiculous. Next time Im bringing a can of HotShot to keep in my toiletry bag... really... they need to have that stuff on the back of the toilets like air fresheners.DO NOT attempt to sleep there without earplugs! TAKE SOME WITH YOU! There is a nocturnal bird that rivals the sound of an alarm clock hooked to a surround sound Amphitheater speaker system AND THERES MORE THAN ONE! They talk to one another! One loud ass bird will chirp for 15 minutes and then another one will chirp for 15 minutes but that one might be too far away so youll almost be asleep when the bird near to you starts freaking chirping again. I quite literally drove to the Walmart almost 45 minutes away and purchased some earplugs for me to sleep with the next morning. I spend the majority of the day sleeping on the beach because I didnt sleep at all that night. It was awful. I quite literally laid there and cried for 15 minutes from the absolute desperation from not being able to sleep because I was exhausted. Overall it was an amazing weekend and I cant wait to do it again but with my earplugs and hot shot this time.

The word is getting out about this place... It is getting more crowed... A lot of family visits.. Great place to visit in the fall.. A lot a color, take a long walk, see some wild life ( saw a Blue Heron and Red Shoulder Hawk today). Great place to walk,jog,ride a bike and dont forget your camera for a family photo.
