York County is the kind of place where a morning on the trail flows naturally into an afternoon at a local brewery. With the Catawba River, miles of greenway trails, and a strong craft beer scene, it is easy to build a day that blends movement and a cold beer. If you are planning a weekend trip or just looking for a fresh way to explore, these brewery and adventure pairings offer a simple guide to making the most of your time in York County.
The Print Shop + Anne Springs Close Greenway Hiking
The Anne Springs Close Greenway offers miles of trails that wind through forests, open fields, and along quiet lakes. It is one of the best places in York County for a hike that feels immersive without being far from town. You can choose an easy walk or a longer trek depending on your schedule.
After your hike, visit The Print Shop by Amor Artis! Just a short drive from the Greenway, you can enjoy this small brewery located off the train tracks in historic downtown Fort Mill. With a pleasant outdoor space, it is perfect for the family, and you can grab some food from their local food truck.
Slow Play Brewing + Disc Golf
Start your day at one of York County’s scenic disc golf courses, home to some of the best courses in the country and the USDGC. You have plenty of challenges to choose from, whether aiming for an ace at Fewell Park or playing like a pro at Winthrop Lake.
After a few rounds on the course, head to Slow Play Brewing in Rock Hill. With a spacious outdoor area, yard games, pup cup for the dog, and a rotating selection of craft beers, it is the perfect place to relax after a round.
Model A Brewing + Lake Wylie Paddleboarding
Start your day on Lake Wylie with a paddleboarding adventure. The calm waters and scenic shoreline make it easy for beginners and experienced paddlers alike to enjoy a morning on the lake. You can paddle with a tight-knit community created by The Goat Boater, you can learn, race, and meet like-minded people.
Pack up your paddle and head to Model A in Tega Cay, an award-winning brewery with plenty of space for friends and family, and a great menu if you need to refuel.
Replay Brewing + Riverwalk Trails Biking
Start your day along the Riverwalk in Rock Hill, one of the most scenic trail systems in the region. The paved paths wind alongside the Catawba River and offer a smooth ride for cyclists of all levels. You can take a relaxed cruise or push for a longer ride depending on your pace. Along the way, you will find shaded stretches, river views, and plenty of spots to pause and take it all in.
