Sandstone and fossils, sunsets on the water and golf
Known for its unusual geology, the 460-acre Peachtree Rock Heritage Preserve is just 3 miles drive from Edmund . It contains layered sandstone formations, buried fossils of ancient marine creatures and towering native longleaf pines along well-kept trails. Near the park's entrance, the only natural waterfall on South Carolina's coastal plain splashes into a small pool. Located within Edmund is Shealy's Pond Heritage Preserve, a 62-acre park on Scouter Creek that's centered around an old mill pond and its surrounding wetlands. The park's west end contains 6 acres of sandhills forested in longleaf pine and turkey oak, and its 1.4-mile round-trip trail attracts people, small mammals and many birds. To spend time on the water, locals head to Hunt Pond for kayaking, paddle boarding and fishing, and they're sure to stay until evening to enjoy the best sunset views in town. Golfers in Edmund join Solina Golf Club, a par-71 course undergoing extensive renovations and rebuilding all 18 greens. At the end of the project, the club will have a newly renovated clubhouse and restaurant in addition to a new shop, locker room and golf learning center.

Fourth-best school district in South Carolina
“Lexington County School District One is known to be one of the best in the state,” Donaghy says. Currently, students attend either Carolina Springs Elementary School, which received a B grade on Niche, or Saxe Gotha Elementary School, which received a B-plus. The district will soon re-zone many Edmund students into its newest elementary school, South Lake Elementary, which will open its doors in the fall of 2024. Older students attend Carolina Springs Middle School and White Knoll High School, both of which received a B-plus on Niche. Lexington County School District One also offers an alternative education program called The College Center, which partners with Midlands Technical College to allow students to earn an associate degree while still in high school. This program benefits students who prefer non-traditional approaches to education.

Collards and peaches bring Lexington together
The Lexington area is home to several festivals throughout the year. Each October, the neighboring town of Gaston hosts the Gaston Collard and BBQ Festival. What started as a gathering of home cooks coming together to sell collards as a fundraiser has now added a barbecue competition, amusement rides, carnival games and a parade. October’s a big month in Edmond as nearby Cayce also has a celebration then, theirs being an annual bluegrass festival. Come spring, Cayce hosts its annual Tartan Day South Highland Games & Festival, an opportunity to celebrate Irish and Scottish traditions with live music, traditional dancing and opportunities to compete in Highland athletics. In the summer, everyone heads down to Gilbert on the Fourth of July for the Lexington County Peach Festival, an all-day event at Gilbert Community Park with live music, a parade, a car show, and fresh peaches from local farms.Travel South Carolina Highway 302 to Columbia
