Pelham Mill Dog Park
Fenced yards above the Enoree River falls, open 24/7
About this park
Pelham Mill Dog Park is a quiet two-yard fenced run on the grounds of an 1820 cotton mill ruin along the Enoree River in Greer. Gates stay unlocked around the clock, the small and large yards are clearly separated, and the river, falls, and dam overlook sit a short walk from the fences.

Pelham Mill Dog Park reviews
What visitors consistently sayOne visitor found only four dogs on a Sunday afternoon, which is the appeal here: room to run without a crowd. The riverside setting, the waterfall, and the mill stonework make Pelham Mill feel less utilitarian than a typical suburban fenced lot.
A low-volume crowd of neighborhood regulars, with long stretches when the yards sit empty. Visitors passing through for the mill ruins and waterfall add a trickle of foot traffic.

Before you go
The walking trail around the mill ruins is narrow and shady but often overgrown, so stick to the dog yards if the brush hasn't been cleared recently. Handicap parking is near the road and the fenced yards are up a short hill from the lot.
Frequently asked
- What hours are the gates open?
- The gates at Pelham Mill Dog Park stay unlocked around the clock, which one owner of a less-than-sociable chihuahua calls the main reason to come here.
- Are small and large dogs separated?
- Yes. Two fenced yards split by size, with fresh water and bowls available in both.
- Is the walking trail worth adding to a visit?
- It depends on upkeep. Reviewers describe a shaded trail past the waterfall and mill ruins, but one found it badly overgrown and another reported trees down after storms.
- How far is the walk up from parking?
- Far enough to matter. The yards sit on top of a hill above the road, and one visitor notes the handicap parking is low enough that a family member could not make the climb to watch.
- Can the dam be walked?
- Not currently. One reviewer found the top of the dam closed off, with views still available from the trails below.
