Laurens County, South Carolina

Laurens County is right in the heart of the Upstate. The county itself is South Carolina’s best-kept secret. It’s where small-town living meets big outdoor adventure. Laurens, the county seat, charms visitors with its historic square and friendly folks.
The Sumter National Forest occupies a good chunk of the county’s eastern region, with miles of trails for hikers and hunters. Then there’s Lake Greenwood, which is a favorite spot for fishing and boating.
You’ll find more cows than people in some parts. That means agriculture’s still a big deal here. Historians get a kick out of the Revolutionary War sites scattered around. It’s not flashy, but that’s the appeal. Yep, Laurens County is authentic South Carolina at its finest.
