Fantastic trail system. Excellent maps and sign on trail, easy riding for the whole family
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.
Horseflies were hungry this morning. Trail was very nice
July 2024 Update:
My wife and I rate this trail 2.5/5. We rode our bikes and had a decent time.
Pros: shaded trail with a beautiful ending ( the pier).
Cons: crossing a 4 lane highway is no joke and the Wapoo trail head is currently non-existent. There's no signage and the path is almost completely overgrown.
This is a wide, all concrete trail & is in great shape. It’s getting a 3 star rating because it has some hazardous crossings on busy roads. At one crossing, although we had triggered the pedestrian crossing signal, we were almost hit by cars ignoring the red light for them. Be very cautious when using this trail. The south end of the trail is closed with a detour. The detour involved riding a very narrow sidewalk along a busy highway. There is not room to pass a pedestrian or another bike on the sidewalk. We turned around rather than continue. Not sure how long the detour will be in effect.
