Used to come here as a kid. Still the same great place. It can be a little busy sometimes, but there’s enough space. $5 entry for adults.
Fun little walking trail that we like to take our pup on. We like going to the right towards the river at the end. I just wish it wasn’t so straight however I realize it’s an old railroad track.
The path starts off with numerous tree roots. Big ones you can see but lots more under the leaves. Very bumpy ride. Better for hiking.
It’s a nice easy walk. You can’t get lost and there is signage explaining the area and sights. There are no restrooms or portopotty - So go To the restroom before you start your walk.
Great rail trail in a town where I grew up. Takes you through some nice tidal grass and marsh land. Great to have this available, highly recommend ¿
This will once again be a nice ride when the work is completed. About 2 1/4 miles from the gate at the Ft. Pulaski end (which is closed and locked) a bridge is out and I thought impassable. Also, much of the trail is overgrown. The ranger at Ft. Pulaski, who does not care if you ride the trail, said the contractor keeps finding new problems and has to go back and renegotiate, so it may be a while before its finished.
We enjoyed this trail a lot!! Nice and flat. Part of the trail is closed for reconstruction but we simply detoured around the area and it was still a beautiful and nice ride.
We rode this yesterday (Wednesday) and were very surprised. Nice paved trail with hardly anyone on it. There was some construction on the southern end where the trail has been flooding. Our complaints are that there is nothing along the trail for food or drinks. Water fountains at one parking area with a spot a pot. Your not far off the beaten path but, as tourists, you have no idea what’s there. The second complaint is on the southern end. It just stops. No maps or indications of how to get to Port Royal downtown from there.
This trail is closed for construction in many places. Southern end.
I rode this trail in early October with my wife and son (9), and was very impressed. Beautiful scenery, excellent markings, and safe crossings for the major roads make it very family friendly.
I have run it several times. The parking lot is not located where the map shows it. The run from the lot to under the highway can be sketchy, there was a neighborhood under construction and some trash from there is on the trail. Once you get by all that it is nice, we see deer, turtles, and alligators. Going towards the marsh is a nice run early with the sunrise and animals running around. If you do a little history lesson of the area it is really neat how the area was used for rice farming and timber harvesting.
