Ashley River Road Bike Path

Great path!

June, 2025 by foglekatelyn

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.

Spanish Moss Trail

Wonderful trail

June, 2025 by dan.duggan

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.

Spanish Moss Trail

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.

Nice trail - parking info needs work

March, 2025 by gchris256

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.

Spanish Moss Trail

Fun Tide

January, 2025 by mnobis_tl

Really nice trail to ride. We did have some trouble finding the trailhead but other than that, we enjoyed the ride.

Spanish Moss Trail

Well Maintained

November, 2024 by aflack7

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.

Nice Ride - woodsy with swamps and the river

November, 2024 by kevievn

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

Sawmill Branch Trail

Trail area under construction

August, 2024 by broggeia202

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.
