Territories :: Saluda River Preserve

Residents can take part in fly fishing, trail biking, sporting clays, bird watching, photography, nature walks, hunting, camping, ATV riding, canoeing, river floating, and kayaking. SPORTING CLAYS Our sporting clays course was designed by Marty Robins, Expert Course Designer, and is a main attraction at The Territories. Our 6 station course has 2 stands per station (intermediate & expert) begins at the Outfitters Lodge and travels in a circle winding through Pine and Hardwood groves to end back up at the Outfitters Lodge. The entire family can easily use this course on the intermediate stands while more advanced shooters will be challenged by the expert stations.We are investigating adding a covered Five Stand element to the shooting amenities at the Territories.
	HIKING By utilizing the expansive green space on the residential tract in combination with the tranquil Saluda River Preserve, the Territories will have a premier nature trail system. The natural flow of topography and the movement of the Saluda River will make the river trail a favorite for sunrise hikes. Numerous loops and short trails will feature the Saluda River as a backdrop, while a short interpretive trail will depart from the River Lodge. For those wanting a longer hike, simply connect to the longer trails on the Saluda River Preserve for a half-day of hiking and enjoying nature.

The diversity of songbirds is outstanding and even holds rare species.The Wood Thrush's flute-like call echoes through the hardwoods. Eastern Bluebirds and Indigo Buntings add splashes of the blue to our fields while migrating neo-tropical Warblers add flashes of yellow to the landscape. Numerous water loving species may be found in the Tupelo Bottoms. One may even spot endangered species like our national symbol, the Bald Eagle, along the Saluda River.
	ATV RIDING With over twenty miles of roads and trails, The Territories is a great place to ride during our non-hunting seasons.
