Road 10 miles of this trail from the Gilky trailhead down into Forest City. Thoroughly enjoyed it – what a well done project especially the upper half where you can ride for miles without stopping. It was a cool overcast Sunday afternoon so not many people out and about, but frequent benches and areas to rest, especially in the lower half. Would highly recommend.
We visited Biltmore yesterday, stayed the night in Asheville, then drove nearly an hour to this trail and glad we did. The trail is well maintained with clear markings. Only a few small areas were raised or bumpy and those were clearly marked with bright red spray paint. We wish all paved trails were in this good of condition! Rene’ and Greg
For Greenwood, this easily takes the #1 trail spot, it’s fairly flat, two straight shots, short but long enough to get a good workout, there is no better trail for at least an hour from Greenwood.
We rode from Travelers Rest to Greenville. Looks like lots of places to eat and drink but we rode early. It was pretty crowded on both ends but nice and calm in the middle. Be prepared to dodge runners, walkers, and strollers. And an occasional high speed e bike. If you’re looking for a place to increase your fitness, this probably isn’t it. If your looking to just cruise and maybe get a beer your good to goandsomething to eat
We hit the trail about 9 am for an out and back ride. Pretty quiet early on a Monday morning. Gentle slopes but no big climbs. My wife had a good time on her pedal assist e-bike. A few road crossings but only one busy at the Easley end of the trail. We rode from Pickens to Easley and back. Plenty of parking on the Pickens end. I was able to park my class C camper pretty easily.
There were a few spots if you wanted to have a seat otherwise just somewhere paved to get some steps in. There’s supposed to be some additions coming.
Started at the Hendersonville visitor center and headed out. Fill your water bottles and use the restrooms at this really nice visitor center! Very well marked trail with lots of safe crossings for the roads! Super wide super smooth asphalt so no issues bypassing pedestrians and other cyclists! Rode all the way to the end and found a pumpkin patch! Since we were on our bikes, I only purchased five small ones for two dollars each! We also stopped by the farm stand trail side, and got some of the best Golden delicious apples we’ve ever had! Beautiful rail trail……kudos to Hendersonville because there were 1000 people using it on this stunning Saturday! It has a brewery, playground, coffeehouse, Quik Mart, all on the side of the trail if you need anything. We really enjoyed the countryside! A winner for a Saturday early Fall bike ride!
