Yes, tree roots and twists and turns but I’m on my bike going thru the woods, past coastal mansions, past lots of restaurants etc. it is a nice amenity while camping at Huntington Beach State Park, which is midway on the trail. In the twisty/bumpy sections I did about 8mph to feel safe. I enjoyed my 20 mile ride….
Too many asphalt buckles made this trail very, very bumpy. It was uncomfortable. But the scenery through the woods was beautiful.
Easy parking at west end, biked the 8.5 miles to the east end and enjoyed a yoghurt bowl from TCBY in west Ashley before heading back! There are numerous street crossings that are well marked for safety and intermittent shade along the way s well as resting benches.
i am concerned with safety on the trail given on monday in one down and back ride i counted 7 e bikes on the trail they are increasing in number. most people dont realize those bikes are powerful fast and very heavy compared to any standard bike. i have now cut my rides from every day to just three days a week and if it doesnt improve even less. its unfortunate i really like the trail its a typically pleasant ride. One of several attractions for me is the fact that the signs all state there are to be no motorized vehicles on the trail yet sense it re opened i have come upon a gas fired scooter two golf carts one atv and countless e bikes. Not really looking good for continued future use for any one not using a motor!
Goes longer than 1.5 miles. You can park at Drayton hall elementary school and walk either way. Lead a to village green, which is a nice neighborhood with trails and hills as well.
We biked this trail on March 15. Nice trail, but the parking information needs work. We first tried to find the parking at 25 Lyttleton Ave. There is a house there in a neighborhood, but no trail parking. We found the nearby trail crossing at Nicholson St. There is a single-car pulloff next to the crossing. A passing local person said it was okay to park there. Later on the ride we found the other parking listed for the east end of the trail. It is behind a row of shops and is not marked as trail parking as such. There is an alleyway of sorts behind the shops, with parking along the trail. The turn into the alley is beside the Peter and Sons Shoe Repair Shop at 42 Windermere Blvd, Charleston. Hope this helps other users to find the parking.
We started at McLeod Mill road. Thanks to charlesdove for providing excellent details in his review. The sand/dirt stretch lasted about a mile, and then it became asphalt. It was pretty flat with beautiful views. The street crossings were at non-busy intersections. Very enjoyable.
The signage for the intact part of the trail was below average. The detour section was poorly marked unless you are familiar with the road building project. It will be much nicer when completed, but for now it is best to avoid that area.
July 2024 Update:
My wife and I rate this trail 2.5/5. We rode our bikes and had a decent time.
Pros: shaded trail with a beautiful ending ( the pier).
Cons: crossing a 4 lane highway is no joke and the Wapoo trail head is currently non-existent. There's no signage and the path is almost completely overgrown.
