We are a non-profit volunteer-run group who welcomes newcomers to join us on all hikes. Our aim is “to promote the enjoyment of the outdoors, teach outdoor ethics, and encourage the conservation of air, woods, waters and wildlife in general.”

We specialize in hikes that challenge all skill levels and fulfill the varied interests of our hikers. Hiking options include wildflower and photography hikes and backpacking trips. We also participate in trail maintenance in local state parks and have a variety of social gatherings throughout the year.

Come hike with the Greenville Natural History Association to meet interesting people and enjoy the outdoors.

New Park Bench

Just a note to let everyone know that the park bench was installed at Paris Mountain State Park on about January 10, 2010. It is located at North Lake near the northwest corner of the dam. The Park staff did an excellent job installing the bench and the siting couldn't be better. It is close to the trail, has a nice view of the lake and will be shaded during the summer. The bench, which is made of recycled plastic, is 6 feet long and will hold four hikers comfortably. For those new members who have no knowledge of the bench - it was purchased by the GNHA and presented as a gift to Paris Mountain State Park. We hiked to North Lake on 1/13/2010 to attach a plaque to the bench. Please see attached photos.
Hope GNHAers and all hikers enjoy the bench and the beautiful area where it resides.
