Details

Peachtree Rock Heritage Preserve will take you on a trip back in time. We will meet for trail departure at the sand lot near the entrance. Roughly 30 minutes out from Columbia. We will start on the loop trail and determine from there if the group chooses to see more of the area.
Layered sandstone formations, riddled with the fossils of ancient marine creatures, crop up on either side of the well-kept trails. Native longleaf pines tower overhead. Near the preserve’s entrance, the only natural waterfall on the state’s coastal plain splashes into a small pool. Rich in culture, history, unusual geology, plants and wildlife, Peachtree Rock Heritage Preserve is a wonderful and educational place to visit. A kiosk near the preserve’s titular formation – the now-toppled Peachtree Rock – describes the area’s unique natural offerings. Dogs on leash, No restrooms.
