Tyger River Confluence

201 acres | Spartanburg County

Upstate Forever worked with The Tyger River Foundation to protect the 201-acre Tyger River Confluence at Nesbitt Shoals.

Project funders include the South Carolina Conservation Bank, Upstate Land Conservation Fund, and the US EPA under a Section 319 Grant through the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services.

Where the Tyger Rivers meet

In 2009, The Tyger River Foundation purchased a 10-acre riverfront parcel and created The Nesbitt Shoals Nature Park, establishing the first public river access point on the Tyger River. Since then, dozens of additional acres have been acquired in this area where the South and North Tyger Rivers converge in Spartanburg County and in 2022, Upstate Forever worked with The Tyger River Foundation to place the 201-acre property under conservation easement.

These blueways also serve as a drinking water source to over 10,000 customers in the Woodruff-Roebuck area. The permanent protection of the confluence at Nesbitt Shoals will help safeguard the quality and quantity of drinking water for local residents.
