Description
The northern end of the Swamp Rabbit Trail begins across from North Greenville Medical campus of the Greenville Hospital System, 807 N. Main Street, and continues south along the Cleveland Street side of Greenville Tech in the city of Greenville. The trail runs along the Reedy River, connecting Travelers Rest with the city of Greenville. Including the segment south of I-85, the Swamp Rabbit Trail is 18.6 miles long.
The trail is officially known as the Greenville Hospital System (GHS) Swamp Rabbit Trail due to a generous $1 million contribution from the local healthcare provider to help develop and publicize the trail. Varying from 8 to 12 feet wide, the trail features a paved surface for bicycles, skaters and walkers, with an additional rubberized surface for runners. Amenities along the trail include lighting, picnic areas, benches, water fountains, restrooms, signage and bicycle racks. Views of the Reedy River are plentiful throughout the trail.
