We love to discover and share some of the most beautiful spring day trips in South Carolina. Welcome to the best places to visit in spring in South Carolina.

Take a hike to a rock that clocks in at 14 acres (not 40) large and has natural pools all across the surface. In the springtime, they fill with water and grow the most colorful vegetation. It's beautiful to witness.

Stroll through 170 acres of lush gardens and swamps at this out-of-the-way attraction. See the spot where the famous rowboat scene in the major motion picture, "The Notebook," was filmed.

After the long winter, immerse yourself in the wilderness under a lush canopy of trees on this 10.8-mile hike. The trail is built from an old rail passage that still contains 14 trestles and bridges.

Travel over to the state's newest overlook. It's situated high atop the highest peak in South Carolina. From here, you can see three states!

The oldest covered bridge in the state is a beautiful sight in the springtime when the greens surrounding the bridge are at their brightest. Take the short trail around the preserve and look for wildflowers.

The spring and early summer are the best times to view the 4,800 rose plants found at this underrated park in South Carolina. Usually, the city celebrates the first weekend in May every year with the annual Festival of Roses. Word hasn't been released yet if the festival is a go for 2021.

Spend a day by, on, or in the water at Lake Jocassee. The state's clearest, most pristine lake is suited to springtime fun. Rent a kayak or even a motorboat at Devil's Fork State Park and go enjoy the day.

Each May, the waters of the Catawba River fill with the largest stand of Rocky Shoal Spider Lilies anywhere. You can view them from the park on the Canal Trail. Or, better yet, bring a kayak and get up closer!

Follow a sandy path to discover a beautiful, untouched boneyard beach filled with the sun-bleached carcasses of downed trees. Pass under a gorgeous tunnel of trees on an old dirt road getting there. This is a fantastic journey to make in the springtime!

Explore the best urban waterfall on the East Coast in this 32-acre park at the foot of Main Street in Greenville. Check out all of the spring flowers planted in the park!

The first few weeks outside of winter are truly magical each year. That period between temperatures that make you shiver and temperatures that have you wiping the sweat off your brow isn't long in South Carolina so we have to make the best of the springtime we do get. Get outside and play - soon!
