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. The Blue Trail, your gateway to the rock and waterfall, begins with a steep descent, so be prepared for a slightly more strenuous uphill climb on your return to the small parking lot. Leashed dogs are welcome to join you on your adventure, just remember to bring waste bags and help keep the preserve clean for everyone to enjoy. 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.
