Wife, son, & I chose the Spanish Moss Trail, for a ride last Friday, July 10th. We started later in the day, around 4pm & started on Depot Street & headed South to the trail end in Port Royal. After checking out Port Royal, we headed back to the Depot Street parking area, where wife & son called it quits, while I decided to finish up the remaining length. The trail is extremely scenic & very well maintained. Trail was sparsely in use during our afternoon, don't recall seeing a soul during my finishing of northern segment, other than a few people, not bike riding, possibly homeless hanging around the area where the trail traverses a large inlet or marsh area, but they caused no issues or concerns. Would highly recommend this trail. It was a hot day, well past warm conditions, however most of trail offered adequate shade making the ride pleasant. The only critique I would offer is that the trail stops in Port Royal, in a neighborhood about a mile before where I thought it would end. I assumed it would go all the way to the end of Port Royal, at Battery Creek. We used surface streets to reach the water, but was mostly guess work as signs ran out near the trail's end.
Spouse, adult son with disabilities and i rode the truman linear trail in early july 2026. It was a super hot day with temps in the high 90's. I was worried the brutal heat would create a miserable ride however there was ample shade throughout our trip to keep things pleasant. Before we knew it, we had reached the end and had gotten on the police memorial trail. We continued to where we thought the memorial trail ended and then took surface streets 5o downtown Savannah along the river. We had a nice lunch and wife and son explored downtown, while i rode back to where we left our vehicle at Mayer park. Only criticism of the trail is that it isnt well marked, other than yellow painted lines down the middle. Signage would be appredciated, along with some distance markers. Other than that, a good trail, smooth, level, and lots of shade.
This is a lovely ride, especially at sunset when the light sparkles off the water. If you park at Publix, there is a little sidewalk on the side that goes right to the trail. No road crossings needed.
Great trail! Even though it was 89• it was such a comfortable ride. And absolutely beautiful views!!
My daughter and I had a great time on this trail. Mostly flat and paved about 75 percent. It was a great morning ride!
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.
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.
