On April 15, 2026 my wife and I "e-biked" the trail beginning at the southern hwy 52 trailhead. We are active, fit retirees at 70 years old. The trailhead is spacious but has no accomodations ( restroom, water, garbage can , etc. ) Immediately you are challenged to cross a 5-lane highway ( use the turn lane as somewhat of a safety island ) . The initial trail through the mostly pine forest was shady, poorly marked, and with significant surface roots on average every 4-5 feet of trail. Leaving the pine forest as you approach the dam you will need to portage your bikes across a railroad track ( no crossings provided ). Again signage was found lacking and we were unsure of the trail location or direction. BTW, the trail description posted on this site is woefully lacking and somewhat inaccurate. We used google maps to confirm that the trail was actually at the top of the levee / dam. There are actually two trails / service roads that parallel the lake. One is at grade below the levee and the other is atop the levee. Neither is identified as the Lake Moultrie Passage trail. We took the levee trail. It offered a good compacted , level gravel road with a spectacular elevated view of the lake.
We arrived at Bonn Grocery a little after noon. In the abscence of trail signage we asked a grocery patron where the trail continued. he pointed us a couple blocks away to Butter Street as the trail connection. At Black Oak Rd and Butter Street we found a trail maker facing in the opposite direction, located low enough to be obscured by weeds and other signage. We were planning to have lunch at the Watermark Bar & Grill only to find it closed and posted as under the control and jurisdiction of the sheriff' department.
We continued down Butter Street to Barn Rd to Pauline Drive. These thoroughfares are two-lane with no shoulder, significant local traffic, and more than a few agressive drivers ( despite we were moving at 15-18 MPH in full power mode on our bikes ) We turned around and did not proceed to the Pooshee Plantation Rd. / Wildlife Management portion of the trail which we were very much looking forward to biking.
We suggest the trail map be more detailed , identifying the trail characteristics such as when you will be sharing the road with vehicles and with no designated bike lanes. Possibly include information as to how to access the non-vehicular portions of the trail.
We enjoyed the part of the trail we biked but were disappointed that we were not able bike more miles without being forced to share the road with vehicular traffic.
We are beginning to train to do a distance ride and we really enjoyed this ride starting out. An easy 20 miles and close enough to have some good eats nearby. Most of the trail felt pleasant with the upper portion feeling a like - off- but nothing a pair can’t handle.
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.
Have been bike packing with son for last 5 years. We have done the C&O, Creeper and GAP trail and some single track in Brevard area. Went to the SFT because of the location and name - The area in SC was gorgeous, we went in spring and just caught the beginning of the pollen season, which made breathing a bit tough. The trail was mostly cut grass and cypress roots. We only managed 4-5mph and with the bikes loaded up with gear... it was very tedious and hard going. So much so that after the first day... we switched over to forest/lumber dirt roads that seemed to run parallel to most of the SFP trail. To me the SFP seemed more conducive to hiking or full suspension MTB trail, due to the surface and vast amount of roots to navigate. Gravel roads however were great and got us to our destination and back.
Great trail! Even though it was 89• it was such a comfortable ride. And absolutely beautiful views!!
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.
Fantastic trail system. Excellent maps and sign on trail, easy riding for the whole family
