Euchee Creek Greenway Description

Overview

Grovetown’s Euchee Creek Greenway elevates visitors across the soggiest sections of this verdant route in East Georgia on a series of boardwalks. Located in metropolitan Augusta, the trail follows a creek named for the Indigenous Yuchi people (also spelled Euchee and Uchee) who lived here in the 17th and 18th centuries before they were forced to relocate to Oklahoma in the 1830s.

The Columbia County Greenway is divided into two segments. The 5-mile northern section runs between the Patriots Park recreation area and the Canterbury Farms development. The 1.1-mile southern segment is known as the Grovetown Trails at Euchee Creek and connects to a paved trail around a lake.

The Euchee Creek Greenway is paved in asphalt and concrete, although several sections—where the route meanders through the creek’s floodplain—are elevated above ground level on a boardwalk with side rails. It is mostly flat, although westbound travelers will find a steep climb where the trail ascends out of the floodplain and runs as a side path along Columbia Road/GA 232. The slope in this section may prove challenging for some people.

About the Route

Starting in the north, the trail emerges from Patriots Park, a county recreation facility that features athletic fields, disc golf, and restrooms. The trail runs east alongside Columbia Road for 1.3 miles before descending into the floodplain and heading south.

For the next 3.2 miles, the trail follows a route through woodlands that separate housing developments scattered across the landscape. The trail crosses only one road—William Few Parkway—on this stretch, as all the other highway crossings are overhead. Ending at the Canterbury Farms development, trail users will find several access points to residential streets.

About a mile south, the southern section begins at a trailhead on Wrightsboro Road. This segment follows the creek for nearly a mile to a loop around a lake on Harlem Grovetown Road.

Parking and Trail Access

The Euchee Creek Greenway runs between Patriot Park, 5445 Columbia Rd (Grovetown), and 5600 Harlem Grovetown Rd (Grovetown), both of which offer parking.

Please see the TrailLink Map for all parking options and detailed directions.

Great Trail

I walk and bike this trail often. Scenic and some challenging hills. Caution required after heavy rain as the trail floods in some areas near the creek.

great trail

I really enjoy running on this trail, great view and challenging run. The trail is 7miles but I haven’t ran the hold 7 miles. Not familiar with the layout of the trail so I’ve only gone so far. If you enjoy running, walking, biking take time out to visit this trail.

Great addition to the walking and biking options in Columbia County. Lots of beautiful natural views while following the Euchre Creek. Family friendly stopping points and connections with many neighborhoods in the area.
