This "Green" restaurant is true to it's form from the ground up. From recycling everything they use in the store to the places where their food is purchased, to all the décor inside. The most important thing to note is that their food is also delicious!

6 miles from downtown Greenville
🏔 If you want lake views and (mostly) flat ground, walk the Lake Placid Loop.
👟 1.2 mile loop | Easy | Starts at the picnic shelter
🐶 friendly? Yes.
🏔 If you want to see an old water tower and dam (and hike a pretty steep hill for about .25 miles), try Sulphur Springs Trail.
👟 3.5 mile loop (upper only) | Moderate | Starts near picnic shelter 6
🐶 friendly? Yes…if your dog is in good shape.
It’s easy to get lost on this trail since it has an upper and lower section so download a map of the park to your phone before you go.
🏔 If you want to see any mountain views at all on Paris Mountain, hike Brissy Ridge Trail.
👟 2.4 mile loop | Moderate-Strenuous | Starts at the park map sign near the parking area
🐶 friendly? Yes…unless your dog is afraid of bicycles.
There is a hiker’s only portion, which is much steeper than the rest of the trail, and there are lots of tree roots on the ground so watch your footing. Be on the lookout for mountain bikers on the other sections of the trail. (Remember, hikers yield to bikers on the downhill).
