Saluda: This Polk County town’s image is forever tied to the steep railroad grade that once brought passengers to downtown, but more recently its outdoor persona is on the rise.
This Polk County town’s image is forever tied to the steep railroad grade that once brought passengers to downtown, but more recently its outdoor persona is on the rise. It isn’t uncommon to spot a gaggle of cyclists rolling in to refuel on healthy eats at The Purple Onion or cars strapped with kayaks heading to the put-in on the Green River. With the unveiling of a new zipline this spring, it’s an opportune time to seek a fresh-air adventure here.
FORAGE: Pick up fresh produce, flowers, and baked goods at Saluda Tailgate Market held Fridays from 4:30-6:30 p.m., May through October.
SHOP: Kathleen’s gallery on Main Street carries bottle openers and oyster knives fashioned out of ties from the historic railroad line at Saluda Forge in Tryon.
