The first phase of this rail trail opened in April 2017 and provides safe and convenient pedestrian access to Lyman’s commercial center. While it is new, it is already fairly well-used. The trail provides serves a dual purpose: recreation, for walkers, joggers and cyclists, and transportation, for residents going downtown to do errands or carry out business. These dual purposes will be enhanced as the trail is extended from its current half-mile span between Lawrence Street and Old Spartanburg Highway. Street furniture will be added to the trail soon. A dog park has also been proposed along the trail.
The trail is built on the right-of-way of the Old Springs/Pacific mill railroad tracks that wound through the old mill village.
Parking is available in downtown Lyman.
This Lyman rail trail is a pleasant walk by the remains of an old mill and through an old mill neighborhood. I was happy to see today that the trail had been extended. Thank you!
Wonderful short out and back smooth path. Perfect trail trail to ride with small children.
