About Peachtree Rock Heritage Preserve

Explore the unique beauty of Peachtree Rock Heritage Preserve in Lexington, South Carolina! This hidden gem offers a moderate 1-mile hiking loop to witness the iconic, toppled Peachtree Rock and a picturesque 12-foot waterfall – a true rarity as the only natural waterfall in the SC Coastal Plain. Pack your hiking boots and prepare to be amazed by the geological wonders and serene natural landscapes found within this protected area.

Plan your visit to Peachtree Rock Heritage Preserve with these tips in mind.

As you hike, keep an eye out for the fascinating sandstone ledges and rock formations that line the trail, adding to the unique charm of this South Carolina treasure.
