A Warm Weather Day in Easley
- Wake up early and head to the Saluda Outdoor Center. Formerly The Saluda Yacht Club, the outfitter is under new ownership and exciting things are happening! Kidding Around’s Kristina recently went out with SUP State and had a blast paddling the Saluda River. You can read all about her Paddleboard Adventure with SUP State. The Outdoor Center also offers tubing and is in the process of building glamping cabins on the river.
- After an adventure on the river, you’ll have worked up an appetite! Head to one of my “top taco-eating destinations” in Greenville that has recently expanded to Easley. Papi’s Tacos offers up authentic Mexican Street food, along with a few local favorites that regulars to the Saturday Market in Greenville love.
- My favorite place to eat in Easley is Tropical Burger (207 NE Main Street). The burgers and fries are amazing. I’ll plan a day trip in that area just to eat there.
- Spend some time at one of the many parks and playgrounds in Easley!
- Explore Nalley Brown Nature Park
- Check out the paves Doodle Trail for biking, running, or walking!
A Cool Weather Day in Easley
- Once the weather is cooler, activities that don’t include water seem more appropriate. The 8.4 mile Doodle rail trail, is something that my kids and I recently discovered, and they keep begging to go back. It connects Easley with Pickens County and is not nearly as busy as the Swamp Rabbit Trail, which lends itself to social distancing. You can bring the bikes or just walk it. We like to park at the Doodle Park and hop on the trail there because it has a clean restroom facility.
- If no one needs a nap after the trail, then everyone can be rewarded with some ice cream from one of our reader’s top picks for grabbing a milkshake in the Upstate. Good Karma ice cream serves up 32 flavors of ice cream for an almost infinite possibility for milkshake flavor combos!
- Now that you’ve no doubt stuffed yourself with a delicious milkshake, it’s time to walk it off by looking for the Trains on Main in Downtown Easley.
