The Anne Springs Close Greenway is an extensive protected natural area in Fort Mill, South Carolina consisting of approximately 2,100 acres (9.3 km2) of lakes, forests, and pastures that include trails for hiking, biking, kayaking, and horseback riding.[1][2] The land for the greenway was donated in 1995 by the family of Anne Springs Close, a lifelong supporter of recreation and the environment. It is run by Leroy Springs & Company.[3]

The greenway presents summer concerts and also provides facilities for picnicking, camping, and mountain biking.[4]
