Reedy River Falls runs through the middle of downtown Greenville, circled by a half mile loop in Falls Park that suits a dog after lunch. Seventy-six more waterfalls wait within fifty miles, most stacked on the Blue Ridge escarpment north of the county. Pearsons Falls drops 90 feet for a quarter mile of easy walking. The hard ticket is Rainbow Falls, a hundred footer at the end of 4.4 tough miles. Pelham stays flat over its mile and a half. Big Falls asks a two mile round trip and about 300 feet of uphill.
