9am-12pm

Meet at the Park's Community Building @ 9am

5090 County Park Rd.

Coward, SC 29530 

Directions: Do NOT follow GPS directions, as GPS frequently takes you on an unnecessary detour. Use the following instead:

From Hwy 52 South/Irby St:

• Turn right onto Old Number 4 Hwy
• Go about 2 miles and turn right onto County Park Rd (there are two large park signs here)
• Go about 1 mile and enter the main gates of the park
• Make the first left into the parking lot and look for the large, round building on your left. 

During this guided tour of Lynches River County Park, participants will explore the Park through a combination of short walks on (mostly) flat paved surfaces and shuttles on the Park’s bus. Following the guided tour, participants will be free to explore the Park on their own and will have free access to the climbing wall (closed toed shoes are required for the climbing wall). Coffee, water, juice and muffins will be available at check-in; please bring a reusable coffee mug and/or water bottle.

Visitors can also enjoy a canopy walk, playgrounds, and family- and equestrian-friendly campsites as well as equestrian trails and arena space, making it a great destination for outdoor enthusiasts and families. Throughout the year, the park hosts educational programs, nature workshops, and community events to engage visitors of all ages.
