This is a Mershon favorite. The Rainbow Falls Trail is a fun, easy to moderate hike with a lovely waterfall at the top.
Another great state park. The Table Rock trail is a classic. There is a lake you can swim and boat in, but it will probably be fairly crowded in July.
This small state park is close by, only about 20 minutes from the church. It has a lake where you can swim and rent boats and some small hiking trails. It's a lovely place to hang out, have a picnic or go on a short hike.
This is for the coffee lovers. It's a good coffee shop in the old Taylors Mill (mostly coffee, very little food). It has Catherine's favorite cappuccino in town.
This is a neat food food court with several options to eat and inside and outside seating. It's in lovely downtown Greer, which has some nice shops, restaurants and a park and field to play at.
The Pavilion is 5 minutes from the church and has a playground, several fields, tennis courts, and a pile of snow from the ice rink that kids love to play in. Inside it has an ice skating rink and bounce house.
