Confirmed from Reedy River Falls' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Popular park, featuring a scenic waterfall and a bridge offering vista views.

Reedy River Falls Park in Greenville is such a gem! The waterfall is absolutely beautiful, and the Liberty Bridge gives you the perfect view—it’s a spot you can’t miss. The park has a cool history too; it’s where Greenville’s textile industry got its start.
Beautiful Park and Walking Paths with a great waterfall! Great place to bring family and friends for a little urban waterfall viewing.
Beautiful waterfall in downtown Greenville. Easily viewable from nearby bridge, park & River walk. A few picnic tables are close by, where you can enjoy the sound of the waterfall.
So cool to have a waterfall in the middle of a city. Very pretty/ peaceful place to walk with lots of food options near by (I recommend the lazy goat)
