Take Your Pick of Tennessee
Two cities in Tennessee make great day-trip destinations from Anderson; it just depends on whether you want to go to the right or to the left. If you head toward Atlanta on Interstate 95 and north on Interstate 75, you'll be in Chattanooga in about 3.5 hours. Once in town, let someone else do the driving for a bit on a Tennessee River cruise or a trolley ride at the Chattanooga Choo Choo. Spend the day immersed in Civil War history at the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park or see the city from above, zooming along a zipline at Ruby Falls. Or head toward Greenville out of Anderson and steer toward Interstate 26 to pick up Interstate 40 toward Knoxville. In a little under 3.5 hours you can take in a show at the historic Tennessee Theatre, catch nothing but net at the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame or stroll through the botanical gardens. If you can add an hour and a half to your return drive, complete the loop on Interstate 75 and hit both Tennessee stops.
Smoky and the Bears
It's just an hour and a half from Anderson into the forest on the other side of the border with North Carolina at Gorges State Park, but keep plunging into the hills on the Great Smoky Mountains Expressway a couple more hours until you meet the national park straddling North Carolina and Tennessee. Where fall colors or spring wildflowers blanket the hills of this Appalachian paradise, you'll be sharing it with about two black bears per square mile. Exploring the park includes spotting dozens of historic buildings from barns to grist mills, renting a horse for a guided tour of the trails or angling along 700 miles of fishing streams. Work up an appetite to stop at Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort on the way back to Anderson for Vegas-style buffet and play a few table games to call it a day.
Peach of a Georgia Trip
Casino Trips From Greenville Sc Attractions
With a little over three hours of driving on country roads, Macon, Georgia, is a straight shot to the southwest. Here you can settle in for a vintage Southern day with a distinctive small-town feel. Step back to World War I with memorabilia at the Museum of Aviation, learn about the South's rich African-American arts and culture heritage at the Tubman African American Museum, rock back to the 1970s at The Allman Brothers Band Museum or explore prehistory at the Indian mounds at Ocmulgee National Monument. Pick some peaches at Lane Southern Orchards, stroll through the town's 11 historic districts or pay tribute to Hank Aaron and Bobby Jones at the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame. When the spring blooms have popped, make a beeline for the annual Georgia State Fair.
Lizard Man Lore
If a conventional day of hiking or shopping isn't your style, head east of Anderson to track the lore of the lizard man. Said to be a bipedal, 7-foot, lizard-looking creature, the lizard man made its debut with sightings in 1988, and car fenders have been mysterious mauled and scratched with a three-clawed hand ever since. To get in the heart of Scape Ore Swamp where the sightings occurred, explore Browntown Road north of Interstate 20 west of Bishopville, South Carolina, about two hours and 45 minutes from Anderson. If you're hunting for a Lizard Man museum, the South Carolina Cotton Museum in Bishopville has taken up the task and sells plenty of lizard man T-shirts and kitsch, along with cotton bales if you want to throw one in the car.
