My wife and I took a three week bike trip in late Feb 2025, and happy we started with Spanish Moss. Nice flat, wide trail with different views of the area including neighborhoods, moss covered woods, water views and some commercial areas. There were a few busy road crossings, but nothing to worry about. Lot’s of historic sites along the route including the train station. And of course, lot’s of Spanish moss along the way, which for us northerners is quite the treat. Add this one to your list.
This trail is one of the best. Entire trail was concrete and very smooth. Passed by Marine base with Great timing seeing 2 launches and one return trip of military jets.
Rode it from the entrance gate at Fort Pulaski. First three miles were in great condition. It is hard packed what looks like crushed gravel. Great views on one side of the river, but it runs parallel to the highway a few yards away. The heavy traffic noise detracted some from the experience. After 3 miles it separates from the trail, but in this section it is poorly maintained. There are some parts where it is down to single track. Large sections that are covered in washed over reeds. The tires on our tandem bike sunk in making it like pedaling through loos sand.
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.
Really nice trail to ride. We did have some trouble finding the trailhead but other than that, we enjoyed the ride.
Good flat trail that is well maintained. Many cyclists and folks walking pets in the later afternoon. Enjoyed my ride time but giving only a 4 star due to many road crossings that can be dicey depending on time of day even with cross signals.
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.
Fairly flat concrete path. Well maintained. Had some things to stop and read about historic buildings that surrounded the path. Great scenery along the way

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.
