Maybe it’s the mountain air we breathe, but there just seems to be something extra special about the Upstate. Located at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Spartanburg offers an abundance of outdoor recreational activities such as hiking, biking, fishing, golf, and horseback riding for residents of all ages. You can take advantage of the mountains with a day of hiking & whitewater rafting, or spend an afternoon fishing & boating on one of the area’s many beautiful lakes. Spartanburg is proud to be home to the Carolina Panthers training camp or for those with more of a flair for business, the BMW Zentrum awaits visitors who wish to explore the BMW plant or even take a test drive. Whether you want to explore museums, visit historical plantations, listen to live music at Barnet Park, or just take the kids to a waterpark, there are endless possibilities to take advantage of the area’s natural beauty.
