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!
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.
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
