The Upcountry Region of SC has the highest number of waterfalls of any area in the Eastern US. Many can be seen by vehicle at roadside stops. Access to some of the more spectacular ones are by foot trail or even guided tour boats. Lake Jocassee in particular offers the best boat access to the Jocassee Gorges Conservation Area for sightseeing.

Magnificent hikes are available at Table Rock State Park in Spartanburg County.

If it's the right season, a Clemson football game is one of the biggest sports draws in the area, especially when they play their rival and the University of South Carolina. Greenville's minor league baseball team and the Greenville Drive, plays in the West End of Greenville within sight of Shoeless Joe Jackson's relocated childhood home. Bon Secours Wellness Arena is the home rink of the Road Warriors, an ECHL hockey team.

The Cowpens and Kings Mountain battlefields, both preserved by the National Park Service, are two of the most significant sites in the Southern Theater of the Revolutionary War. Both are quickly accessible from I-85.
