Greenville is an inland Upstate city that rebuilt its downtown around the Reedy River, where Falls Park on the Reedy turned a former industrial site into a park centered on the waterfall and the curved pedestrian Liberty Bridge above it. From there, Main Street runs several walkable blocks of shops and restaurants. It's a city day rather than an outdoor day, best paired with Table Rock or another Blue Ridge stop if you're already making the long drive from Charleston.
