The Colonel Robert Bell Path is a paved 1.7-mile long trail that begins off the intersection of Mark Garner Highway and 62nd Ave N. The trail is mostly flat and is protected from traffic as it passes through wooded areas. It briefly runs alongside the Robert M. Grissom Parkway as it crosses over the Intracoastal Waterway.
It connects the Carolina Forest Bike & Run Park on the north bank of the Intracoastal Waterway to the Grissom Parkway Trail, a paved 6.4-mile trail that runs southwest along Robert M. Grissom Parkway. Functionally, the Colonel Robert Bell Path and Grissom Parkway Trail are a continuous paved path, which allow for a longer trail experience.
At the Frontage Road B-2 end of the trail, the Colonel Robert Bell Path connects to the Horry County Bike Run Park, which is a more a challenging multi-use trail.
Parking is available at Queens Cove Park just off Frontage Road B-2 (Myrtle Beach, SC 29579) and at Horry County Bike Run Park (150 Frontage Road B-2).
While this trail may not be very long, it provides a vital service for many cyclists and pedestrians by providing safe passage to the opposite side of the Intracoastal Waterway. The asphalt trail initially runs parallel to US 17 at 62th Ave N, then turns into a lightly wooded trail. After running along side the north end dog park, it travels across the waterway and then ends at the Horry County mountain bike track, The Hulk. Unfortunately, the trail just ends here but if you don’t mind riding on the road, you can take Eddie Dyer Rd to get to the abundant shopping area in River Oaks.
