The South Carolina Upcountry is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. From the Piedmont to the foothills, nature lovers and sportsmen alike will discover adventure among pristine streams and waterfalls, winding trails and hardwood forests, and the region’s best-kept secret: its state parks.

Outdoor Adventures in the Upcountry, edited by Michel Stone, is a collection of true stories about hunting, fishing, paddling, birding, and other recreational pursuits by the area’s best nature and outdoor writers. This colorful large-format book is beautifully illustrated with dozens of images by nature photographer Ted Borg, whose work has appeared for decades in South Carolina Wildlife magazine.

Head to a cool mountain stream for fly-fishing with award-winning novelist Ron Rash of Clemson. Stroll a summer wood with Furman University essayist Joni Tevis. Paddle a meandering Spartanburg creek with John Lane, author of Chattooga. Among the adventures along the way are deer hunting among loblolly pines, a hike around the gem that is Lake Jocassee, and the acrobatics of ravens at Caesar’s Head. Join these 36 writers as they explore and celebrate all that the Upcountry of South Carolina has to offer nature lovers.
