Piedmont Riverfront Park ribbon cutting this Friday (5/8) at 10 am. This is where the 16th Annual Saluda River Rally will take out this year!
🌿 **Big news for Anderson County!**
After years of planning, **Piedmont Riverfront Park** officially opens May 8, 2026—bringing new life and access to the Saluda River. This 21-acre destination features ADA-accessible paddling, scenic trails, fishing spots, and stunning views where the river meets Big Brushy Creek.
Phase one includes a kayak launch, picnic shelter, and nature trails, with more amenities coming soon. The park also connects to a 9-mile stretch of the Saluda River Blueway, linking to Dolly Cooper Park.
🚣♂️ It will even serve as the finish point for this year’s Saluda River Rally on June 6!
A major step forward for outdoor recreation, accessibility, and conservation in Upstate South Carolina.
