Many years ago, I would observe Harold Hatcher in his 90’s working long hours in this former gully. It is amazing to now recognize his vision was so far ahead of what seemed possible at that time. Walk these grounds and feel the spirit of a humble and altruistic man, whose vision is now the number one free attraction in Spartanburg County. There is something magical about this sanctuary in the city. Do yourself a favor travelers...get off the highway, grab a sandwich at Arby’s and enjoy a peaceful break in the gazebo. Then, stretch your legs on the paved trails and listen to the songbirds. Be kind...drop a little something in the donation box and write something kind in the guest ledger. When you head back to the highway...you will be a different driver. Relaxed, calm and revitalized. Why can I only go 5 stars? Let’s give the place 10 and call it a day.

Enjoyed 2 mile hike around Lake Johnson. Although it took us a few minutes to find the actual entrance-It was an easy to follow, quiet rustic path mostly shaded. Enjoyed spotting a few different types of wildflowers and looking out to the lake.

RJ Rockers Brewing Company opened in 1997. In Feb 2018 we added a kitchen, converted some warehouse space to seating, added heating and air conditioning. We have taken the Rockers flavors you love and have created approachable beer-inspired food. Each dish was born in the brewery, crafted in the kitchen, and delivered into your hands. If you’re thirsty and hungry, you might as well EAT WHERE THE BEER IS. Please come visit us. We have live music on the brewery side every Thurs, Fri, Sat night.

While visiting the area we stumbled upon RJ Rockers and we were very impressed. We got there a few minutes before they were serving food but they sat us right away with no issue. Our server was wonderful and very knowledgeable, I think his name was Zack (but I don't remember for sure). Three of us shared a few appetizers and it was more than enough food. Plated beautifully and the flavors were outstanding. We had the apple cider and the pool boy beers, both were delightful. We were extremely happy we found this gem and will definitely be coming back next time we are in the area! Wish we had one in our area.

This is a good priced theater with good seats and more reasonable concessions than most of the big brand names around. To go to the local Regal, tickets plus concession for two people will cost $40, here the same movie would cost closer to $25.

Partner and I were driving back home to Myrtle Beach from the mountains and decided to stop by and drink some local brew in Spartanburg. It was definitely worth the stop. Their Apple Pie Cider was awesome and they had a Double Coffee Nitro Stout that was oh so smooth and tasty. :) They also made a Hot Apple Pie Cider with Mead and Vanilla which was BOMB!

We were looking for some where cool to walk our dog while we were staying in Spartanburg. This was a gem and a great find. It was a beautiful walk beside a stream with waterfalls. I love waterfalls! There is part of the trail that goes up a hill. It is in a circle area. I'm not sure I would have found it if it weren't for our dog insisting to go that way. I was glad she did. We found ourselves in the middle of a field of bamboo. It was very cool to walk through. GPS took us to the wrong side of the bridge where there isn't any parking. After walking across the bridge we found parking so we moved our car instead of leaving it on the roadside. This was a very enjoyable morning walk.
