Things to Do in Clemson

From fly-fishing to kayaking to whitewater rafting, Endless River Adventures keeps aquatic adrenaline junkies fixed with daily river tours, boating equipment rentals, and regularly scheduled international trips. The local staff of multi-talented water buffs coordinate full- and half-day tours down the Nantahala, Ocoee, and Cheoah rivers, allowing clients to opt for guided or unguided expeditions depending on their level of experience and fluency in turtle. Mindful of the growing scarcity of natural splendor, Endless River Adventures participates in a number of eco-friendly efforts that support Nantahala Gorge and endangered waterways overseas.

As matriarch of the equestrian-loving McCarty family, Dixie McCarty invites visitors to Heart of Dixie Farms to share the fun of horseback riding through lessons and trail rides. When not teaching at the farm, she teaches agriculture at the middle-school level, and lends each of her lessons a considerate yet authoritative tone. Instruction covers riding disciplines ranging from Western and English pleasure to the basics of timed events, which might include barrel racing. Students can take their newly acquired skills from the 220'x90' sand arena to the farm’s network of shaded trails or nearby Watson Mill Bridge State Park.
