Harrelson Trail

Worst bike trail ever

April, 2025 by traillink user

This trail is horrible. Warning to parents, do not take children on this bike path. We spent 7 miles dodging cars coming out of driveways and parking lots. Terrible experience.

Peak to Prosperity Passage (Palmetto Trail)

Could be 5 stars but....

April, 2025 by amsley4

The flat and scenic trail has all the makings of a beautiful escape - river crossings, swamp bridges, railroad crossings and bridges and small town charm. Started in peak and at about mile 7.5 there was a large impassable tree across trail prohibiting full biking to prosperity. The trail is not "crushed stone" (would be great if it was) rather it is more like fist size rocks making it a pretty bumpy and painful ride in the saddle.

Three Rivers Greenway

Pretty, but broken up with construction

April, 2025 by debbie4psu

We’d hoped to ride our bikes the promised 19.8 miles, so we’re disappointed to find that closures and construction reduced our ride to 3.5 miles each direction. We parked as far North as the trail goes, at Capital City Passage Trailhead. It’s pretty and would be cool, but unfortunately wasn’t worth our effort to get our bikes there.

Twelve Mile Creek Trail

No trail markers - difficult to navigate

March, 2025 by patricia5431

Not for someone who's not used to trails with no markers! My walk started off great and I started from Waxhaw, 7900 Prescott Glen Pkwy- beautiful walk but after walking a few miles there was a threat of rain so I turned around and obviously took a wrong path because nothing is marked! I walked out to a street hoping to find direction but it was pouring rain. I stopped to ask directions from a couple on their porch with young children and they said I was about 3 miles from where I parked and offered me a ride. These larger parks need trail markers because this was an experience I could have done without!

West Ashley Greenway

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.

Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail

Fun trail! Lots of amenities

March, 2025 by mlawlor72

I have ridden many rail trails across the US. One of the things that I look for are access to water, bathrooms and food. This trail has it all! Warm spring day - lots of people & dogs out enjoying the trail with happy smiles. There are areas of downed trees on either side of the trail from the Hurricane damage but it doesn’t affect the trail at all. It is paved asphalt so there are “root humps” here and there but nothing terrible. Gentle inclines and declines. I enjoyed my ride!

Awendaw Passage (Palmetto Trail)

recent Riders Here?

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.

Palmetto Parkway Bike Path

Great workout

December, 2024 by jmullikin24

Long sustained climbs on a very unused trail. No baby strollers or dogs on this one! Solitude

Cleveland Park Trails

nice 1.5 mile trail

November, 2024 by zgqk8kh26n

This trail was really nice and very clean and scenic around the pond with the ducks.

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.
