​Planning a Visit

We are located in Blacksburg, SC approximately 20 minutes from Historic Kings Mountain State Park. We invite you to enjoy approximately 2 1/2 miles of scenic leisurely hiking trails. Take time to meditate at our outdoor Forest Chapel located off Chapel Ridge Trail in the middle of the forest. While you're visiting, check out our 1,600 sq. ft. Pavilion and our Retreat Center! Both provide an excellent venue for Church, Wellness and Spiritual Retreats, private family gatherings, as well as meeting, weddings, and other outdoor life celebrations. For our address and directions, click here.
When you visit Kings Mountain Preserve, we ask that you keep in mind you are entering a natural wilderness area. We recommend dressing appropriately for the outdoor weather and footwear that is suitable for uneven terrain. We advise bringing hydrating beverages such as water if you plan to walk or hike in the woodlands. As this is a nature preserve, it is likely that you will encounter all kinds of wildlife. If insects such as mosquitoes or ticks of concern for you, bring an appropriate repellant to protect yourself.
To Take a Tour or Make Final Burial Plans
Tours for the public are scheduled by appointment only.  We begin with an informative 30 minute seminar at our outdoor Pavilion followed by a 30 minute leisurely hike and tour of the property. You are responsible for bringing your own food and water, as well as any insect repellant or other protection. PLEASE WEAR APPROPRIATE FOOTWEAR. We can provide transportation for up to 3 people at a time who need assistance or have mobility issues. To schedule a tour, please call 877-375-2495.
For a Funeral Service
If you are coming to Kings Mountain Preserve (KMP) for a funeral, we ask that you take into consideration that KMP is a nature preserve. Our burial grounds are in the woods along 3 miles of hiking trails. Parking is a short walk from the site. If anyone has limited mobility, we are happy to assist with transportation on the grounds. Please let us know in advance of any special needs.

When in attendance for a funeral, we recommend dressing for the outdoors and whatever the weather is expected to be on the day of the service. It is very important that you wear appropriate footwear for your own comfort and safety. To lessen the the carbon footprint and impact of human activity, we ask that you carpool to the Preserve on the day of the service if at all possible.
