  • Three Rivers Greenway

    State: SC
    Length: 8.5 miles
    Surface: Asphalt

    The Three Rivers Greenway is actually composed of the West Columbia Riverwalk and the Cayce Riverwalk. This beautiful series of riverfront pathways, at the confluence of the Broad, Saluda and Congaree rivers, includes lighted trails and boardwalks, an outdoor amphitheatre, restrooms, wayside exhibits, picnic areas and scenic overlooks.
    The paths wind through a shaded forest of southern hardwoods and is home to a variety of wildlife, including chimney swifts that nest under the numerous bridges. At the end of the newest extension you will see the remains of the locks once used by riverboats.
    You can also fish or toss in inner tube in the water on a hot day and float the river. In addition, the Three Rivers Greenway is close to shopping and restaurants in South Carolina's capitol city.

  • Vista Greenway

    Rail-Trail

    State: SC
    Length: 0.8 miles
    Surface: Concrete

    Traveling for nearly a mile in downtown Columbia, this first segment of the Vista Greenway features a 100-year-old railroad tunnel stretching 400 feet under Lincoln Street.

    Although short, the new rail-trail has helped transform what was once an unpleasant corridor of the city into a vibrant and critical link for pedestrians and cyclists between residential neighborhoods; Finlay Park, one of the city's most popular recreational amenities; and the Vista, the city's shopping and entertainment district.

    The next phase will extend from the park to the historical neighborhoods north of Elmwood Avenue and reach the city's Drew Wellness Center on Harden Street. Eventually, the trail is planned to be a nine-mile route along the former Seaboard Air Line Railroad.
